 However, in fiction as a classical realist

fiction whether drama or novel, there is a

lack of direct authorial presence.

 The given statement is somewhat

paradoxical, since the author presents it as a
shadow which cannot be separated from the
body of the text.

 Belsey here says that, “The form of the
classical realist text acts in conjunction with
the expressive theory and with ideology by
interpreting the reader as subject. In this
way a classical realist constitutes an
ideological practice in addressing itself to
readers as subjects, interpreting them in
order that they freely accept their
subjectivity and their subjection.”
 In Barthes’ view, closure is something
which tends to form a very regular order or
pattern in classical realist literature.
 Techniques like murder, love triangles etc.
provide the destructive element in the text.
 But it eventually leads to an ideologically
accepted closure, where a subject feels a
certain relief and the order of things is re-
established.

 According to Belsey, “The moment of
closure is the point, at which the events of
the story become fully intelligible to the
reader” it means that the closure is such
point in a story when the fog starts to clear
away and the real picture or the situation
becomes clear to the reader.
