This
paper explains that the format of the
multiple views in "Paradise" is similar to the structure of the movie, "Rashomon", by Akira Kurosawa, in which four
different characters present different views of what happened. The author points out that Morrison uses multiple voices to contrast the views of men and
women on the
convent. The paper relates that the primary advantage of the shifting point of view to readers is that we understand the
differences among the characters.
