Framework to literature

In chapter two of The Educated Imagination, Frye expresses his opinion about the framework of all literature. “This story of loss and regaining of identity is, I think, the framework of all literature.” (pg.30) Frye’s opinion is intriguing and definitely has some truth to it, although no all literature shows it in the same ways. If you look at any piece of work my thought is that you will find a loss and regaining of identity depending on how in depth you look at it. This situation then leads to the emotional conflicts, and plot of the story.
