Description

Artistic expression within narratives of different genres can be compared through close examination of the ways each genre treats particular scenes within similar plot structures to obtain parallel results. When the time frame between the two is great, other factors must be taken into consideration. Thus, a comparison of the attributes of two apocalyptic narratives, Daniel Defoe’s 300-year-old novel, A Journal of the Plague Year, and the contemporary zombie movie, 28 Days Later, becomes possible only because the fluidity within modernity overcomes surface differences existing in different eras, revealing the constancy of human nature throughout the ages.
