Aspekte des Romans

Forster emphasizes the importance of a single effect in storytelling, but I wonder if he believed this limits experimental narrative styles. What do others think about this idea’s relevance today?

He draws a distinction that made me reconsider how I approach reading and analyzing fiction. How do others interpret this distinction in their favorite books?

Given that this was written in the early 20th century, I wonder how his views on character development compare to modern literary criticism and whether his ideas still hold up.
