Traditions in Story telling
Jacques the Fatalist, by Denis Diderot, is unlike any other book I have ever read. ... By doing this, Diderot is able to give the reader an idea of how the story could be without actually putting the events in the actually story of Jacques and his master. It is interesting that as a reader all you want is for Jacques to finish at least one of his stories, especially the story of his loves. However, all Diderot does is change the subject, whether he does it through the character of Jacques or he steps outside the story to stop the action of the actual story entirely to go off on another tangent.
