How can one narrate intangible aspects of a character, such as a person's inner life? Often the concreteness that is lacking in the inner world is communicated through symbols or allegory. But despite literature's focus on the inner life, the models and concepts of scholastic anthropology were not applied. This study seeks to explain why this was so.
