Louise Erdrich’s The Plague of Doves - A Study Using Bakhtin’s Dialogism

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to advance the theoretical aspect of Bhaktin’s Dialogism in the Native American literature with special reference to the novel The Plague of Doves. By closely examining the text, the study finds the presence of the dialogical elements in the novel. Additionally, it examines the character voices that are blending together to generate dialogic forms. Instead of showcasing their own strength, the voices allowed other voices to emerge and take on unique qualities while they persisted until the conclusion of the narrative.
