Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page discussion of the theme of death as it is found in Margaret Laurence's "The Stone Angel". Laurence used writing as a tool to work through her pain.

The result of her literary endeavor was phenomenal but even it revolved to a degree around the theme of death. No additional sources are listed.
