| David Lodge describes mimesis as the subjective showing of characters' direct feelings and thoughts and diegesis as the objective telling or reporting of the events. |
| The justification is in fact very clearly stated within the diegesis. |

| The diegesis of Memoirs of a Midget, if not exactly traditional in every respect, nevertheless belongs to genres with which we are familiar. |
