1) Robyn is a character who does not believe in a concept of being a character. In fact, according to her opinion the character derives from an illusion created by the writers from the 18th century to reinforce the ideology of capitalism. To sustain this point of view it is possible to consider that the triumph of the novel coincides with the triumph of capitalism as well as the deconstruction of the classic novel in the 20th century coincides with the definitive crisis of capitalism.
To further sustain this idea Robyn points out that classic novel and the capitalism are both expression of a secularized Protestant ethic which emphasizes the individual self in control of his destiny and in competition with other autonomous selves.
Furthermore Robyn's point of view extends to the conception of the novelist who can be considered as a capitalist of the imagination because he or she invents a product that consumers did not know they wonted, until it is made available.
2) Robyn sustains the non-existence of the self on which capitalism and the classic novel are funded. In fact there is not a unique soul or essence that constitutes the identity of a person, but rather a multi perspective of discourses (about power, sex, family, science, religion, poetry, etc.) and a singol subjective position. As a consequence there cannot be a single author, because every texts is the product of intertextuality.
3) Robyn believes in the "semiotic materialism", that is "you are what speaks you".
4) The character's discourse is broken and fragmented by the introduction of her comments and thoughts.
5) Contrasting characterization: Robyn emerges in opposition to Vic Wilcox.
6) In the process of characterization the external world is less important than the thoughts and inner world of the character.
Robyn stands out by means of her feelings, emotions, fears, memories, flash backs and her academic opinions about novels and their development.
