The choice of the setting itself, narrowed by an architectonical ring of monocromatic houses, echoes the same sense of claustrophobic immobility to which Jefferies is subject. While he is a temporary prisoner whitin his own flat, his possibilities as an observer are similarly limited and so are the spectators’ ones.

Sarah DeCarlo, What It Means To Be Green [SE #1, Group 2] Definitions of what a green man is have changed drastically throughout the years. Traditionally green men are seen as figures of fertility and honour, however, in Jeanette Winterson’s The Green Man it is evident that the protagonist is far from this traditional role.

Ilan Stavans says that Juan Rulfo’s book, The Plain in Flames, is best represented by the phrase realismo crudo. Stavans defines this phrase as “a type of realism interested in the rawness of life”, meaning that he characterizes Rulfo’s writing as an unfiltered view into the lives of the average Mexican (Stavans, xi).
