Abstract :
Margaret Laurence’s last four novels are set in her fashioned village of Manawaka, a part of Canada that is based on her own childhood in Neepawa, Manitoba, and it is in these novels that we find the continuous flow of a created world that engenders and cultivates its own legends and mythology. Although each novel contains one set of character who are technically independent of those preceding them, we nevertheless encounter individuals and families whose stories have been told in previous novels. Since myths in one way or other sharpen or assert reality as Eliseo Vivas writes, “Myth making is a permanent activity of all men” and “all that men can do is to abandon one myth for the sake of another” (1970, 89 & 92). In this perspective myth often points to certain time tested beliefs and some universal co-ordinates.
