Do works of fiction have indexes?
They may have a table of contents with each chapter name sort of indexing into events in the book - in which case you’d look for a chapter whose name hints at Elizabeth getting angry with mr. D’arcy.
Indexes are more suited for facts and figured.

- saimiam 5y agoThis was a fascinating read. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to read Pale Fire. As an aside, i learnt from reading this that his name is Nabokov, not Nabakov!
