By looking through a chaos-theory l

By looking through a chaos-theory lens, we can gain new insights into narratives whose structures display chaotic qualities. Such a reading enables us to apprehend how their form is their meaning, which emerges from the particular social, cultural, and historical circumstances, and how their meaning is dynamical, entangling the reader in the interpretive process. Through the perspective afforded us by chaos theory, we can discern the disorderly order—the complex yet simple elegance—of these narratives.
