"The
Novel of Formation as Genre"
-A Bildungsroman is, most generally,
the story of a single individual's growth and development within the context of
a defined social order. The growth process, at its roots a quest story, has
been described as both "an apprenticeship to life" and a "search
for meaningful existence within society."
-To spur the hero or heroine on to
their journey,they must suffer some form of tragedy which could differ from leaving town, losing a loved one etc. and this will deter them from their family
-The process of maturity is long and
gradual, consisting of repeated clashes between the protagonist's needs and
desires, and the views and judgments enforced by social order.
-the film or novel will usually end in the protagonist reevaluating their place in society and how far they've come since the beginning.
