Coincidence in the Victorian novel
By David Goldknof.
Summary.
Bringing coincidence in the Victorian novel came to practice in the Victorian era ,for this was the time when the pressure of scientific expansionism and violent social economic dislocations had severely strained the English man's traditional attitude towards God - and people started questioning against God .
So the English writers decided to bring coincidence in the Victorian novel to illustrate the efforts to reconceptualize God and to bring transparency in the society .
Novelist brought new concept of circumstances knit themselves, fitted themselves, shot into orders ,incidents linked to each other and was given the perfect connection and novelists called it as the coincidence . The writers of the Victorian novel brought coincidence in the natural manner by saying 'God did this ' . An author chooses coincidence in preference to a naturalistic motivation .
To a greater or lesser extent, for a longer or shorter time coincidence always has the transcendentalizing effect and opportunistically he must also deal with the shock of surprise the coincidence produces .
The author given an example to coincidence by telling -'the simplest way to bring confidence is to bring two characters together is to have them meet unexpectedly' .And in other types of opportunistic coincidence, the denotation of surprise can also be stifled by causal reintegration, or simply by a quick diversion of interest to the new sequence of events initiated by the coincidence.
The motivational reasons for the characters being where they are ,unexpectedly meet in a strange environment by asking -''what brought you to here? '' and the answer is ''small world ''.
Every coincidence is both a means and an end , propulsive and arresting .In the cases cited, the author ther has deliberately emphasized the element of fortuitousness and for the same reason to delebrate a crucial incident from the realistic network of casualty.
In each instance the author has floated is characters away from the mundane connections to bring them under the direct control of God .
The purpose of the coincidence in short is to make the Almighty God a character in the novel .
