The Compound Story of Charlotte and Lottar
The short story, The Albanian Virgin, begins with the telling of a story by Charlotte, who the reader is later told is in the hospital dying. ... The story The Albanian Virgin, is like a kaleidoscope, as the narrative moves from the bookstore owner, the narrator; to charlotte’s story. ... She tells the story, the reader has to first realize that the main story is not on the bookstore owner, but on Charlotte, the woman dying in the hospital and also telling the story about the Albanian Virgin, who also turns out to be her self. ... The language barrier between the Albanian people and Charlotte must have been the reason. ... It is hard to notice that Charlotte and Lottar are the same person if only read once, because of how Munro uses language in her story The Albanian Virgin. ... As I said in the introduction, Munro’s story The Albanian Virgin is like a kaleidoscope, as the narrative moves from the bookstore owner, the narrator; to Charlotte, the bookstore owner’s storytelling friend; then to Lottar, the mysterious heroine in Charlotte’s story.
