SummaryThe authors Andre Malraux and Duong Thu Huong both use the juxtaposition of scenes that are distinctive, but at the same time linked, to provide commentary on a specific theme and to develop certain characters. In both novels, the characters contemplate their suffering and death. The two scenes juxtaposed by Duong in Memories of a Pure Spring use metaphors to deeply examine Hung’s suffering. Through these two scenes that Duong also reveals to the reader a deeper understanding of Hung. She is able to implicitly illustrate the man Hung has become and foreshadow his future suffering.
