Literature-specific definitions

Nothing Will Be Different by Tara McGowan-Ross

A theory is a statement of the general law, idea, or principal that might be applied to a particular thing. ¹ 1 “Theory.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theory. Accessed 12 Sept. 2023. In Nothing Will Be Different, the theories of famous thinkers, such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Jürgen Habermas, are used as general principles in relation to the memoir’s specific accounts of personal experience. The effect is to demonstrate these theories’ descriptive usefulness and, at the same time, their inability to capture the whole.
