A structuralist approach to B.M. Khaketla's novel Mosali a Nkhola
Seema, Johannes
The purpose of this study is to analyze Mosali A Nkhola by
Khaketla B. M. It has become apparent that literature is a
specialised discipline. If literature is a specialised fie ld ,
it follows that the approaches for investigating that literature
will also be specialised .
Structuralism is a theoretical approac h that forms the framework
of this s tudy. The Science o f Literature is concerned with the
different ways in which meaning is produced in the text and not
with its content. This i s what is favoured and fostered by
Structuralists.
We intend to employ structuralism in order to differentiate
between the plo t and the story in Khaketla ' s work. In our
analysis we are also going t o employ the concepts which are
adopted by structuralists, namely exposition, motorial moment,
complication, crisis, climax and denouement. Furthermore we will
look at Khaketla's characters because plot and character are one
substance.
