Chapter three of the book “for the love of money” by LauraVivanco focusses on metafiction as a narrative technique used bywriters to create a story. This device encompasses fictions workswhich are more imaginary and differ a lot from the reality. A goodexample the author uses on this to expound the use of this device isthe romance books. Due to the application of this technique bywriters is subject to a lot of critics and this leads togeneralization and stereotyping of such books. The author has broadknowledge on the topic and this makes her argument very valid. Shebacks up her analysis where required by use of examples from relatedauthors and researches. Many people have carried out investigationsabout why romance novels and other metafiction genres are notrespected like other book genres.
These people try to prove fantasy genre stereotypes wrong. As muchas romance novels have been ranked among the highest selling books inthe market, there are still a few varying generalisations that affectthem and their readers. Women mostly read romance novels, and alsothey are mostly written by female authors (Dugger 2). It may be thereason media outlets overshadow the presence of this book in theliterature world. Another romance novels writer says that thestereotyping is mostly created by other literary writers who do notlike the idea of romance novels selling more than their differentgenre books.it is clear critics of things even when negative attractmore attention to the subject. The ignorance many people have onromance novels have led to the denial of entry for this genre intothe art world.
The chapter focuses on three storylines, and each provides theauthors view on romance novels from their past to their present andtheir place in the society. So as to bring out this review well theauthor also uses Northrop Frye’s set of modes to write her analysison romance novels. These modes play a big part in bringng out thecomparison of romance novels as fistious and full of fantacy ascompared to other genres. The first part is about defending romanceand its readers from the familiar world stereotypes. People who readand write romance novels have been stereotyped by the society thusmaking it a big issue in the literature world. The second partprovides a discussion on claiming kinship during the classics. Thethird part talks about romance and its relation to the traditionalculture. This section helps show the link between passion and thetraditional culture and how other authors have presented this themein their novels. The authors argue that reading romance novels helpsreaders question the connection between reality and fiction. This andother chapters show clearly that there is overgeneralization incriticising romance novels.
The author tries to counter the beliefs of many that romance novelshave no literary artistry. The author acts as an active critic offantasy genre due to her broad knowledge of Harlequin and otherromance novels. In her words, this books employ the use of metaphorsand other stylistic devices, thus evoking cultural and verbatimreferences, and tell us more female readers yearnings. It’s clearthat part of the cultural ignorance on romance novels is the issue ofwhat constitutes to the theme of this novels. Romance novelsdefinition vary among different people, and the most common are wherethis genre is defined as a fiction story that tells more about lovein one or more characters. However, this does not mean the storylinesin this novels are all positive as they at times dwell on conflictsand the downside of relationships. The similarity is that in romancenovels, the ends are always optimistic and happy. The critics thoughhave not hindered the growth of the fantasy genre books, and theycontinue to boom in the art industry. The predictability of thisstorylines makes this books be viewed as fragile in literature. LauraVivanco argues that romance novels are many in the literature worldand a reader will not always pick an enjoyable book randomly. Some ofthis books are shallow, uninteresting and mediocre but this is commonwith the other genres too.
Comparison between romance novels and other types of literature thusleading to the question about this books being classified as art.Thus many supporters of romance novels may be diverse and fast paced,but they are also very artistic as the objects portrayed arebeautiful and also very functional. The ability of romance novels todraw emotions about a certain subject it what substitutes to art asit makes a reader think and react. Thus many critics have shown theneed for analysing romance novels and viewing them as literary textsrather than cultural artefacts. Some women also critic this booksclaiming that they are anti-feminist and that they portray women in abad manner. Most stories in this genre in this genre end up tosubmission of women to men, and this does not rub well with thefeminist’s world. Romance authors counter this argument by arguingthat their use of female characters is a method of women empowermentto show that women are strong too.
In love, women end up as heroines as opposed to other genres wherewomen are misused and degraded. Sexism is portrayed in most romancenovels, and thus some critics say that romance novels do not promotegender equality. Another critic that romance novels teach womenoutdated sexual tendencies is also deemed void as women have theability to choose the desirable tendency to follow. Nevertheless,this genre of books has endured all these critics and still continueto thrive thus showing the percentage of people who like romancenovels is bigger than those who dislike this genre. Thegeneralisation of romance novels as a not serious literature shouldbe stopped as it is not correct.
The definition of romance novels as books that provide a place forescapism rather than viewing them as educational and empowering opensromance novels to more critics. Escapism is a situation where readerspick books of activities that will pull them away from reality for amoment, and that’s why romance novels are generalised as fantasynovels (Hartley 4). Fantasy and fictions are more criticised due totheir detachment from reality than other novels as they transport areader to another world. But this is not valid as people also readother books for similar purposes and the effects are the same.Romance novels are also very long at times, and this created thequestion to why a person can sit and read such a big book.
The romance was popularised a lot by the western culture. Theliterary ways characters were envisioned in this novels led to therise of romance novels. Mostly the storylines are very predictable asthe aspect of metafiction makes stories have the same meaning toreaders. Romance novels encompass different types of love. A fewexamples are love for children, romantic and sexual love, love offriends and many other different versions. The reading of romancenovels is more characterised by diverse cultures. In the currentworld, more women and men are reading this stories as they suit theirpreferences. They help change the view of love among people thus arerelevant in the society. The problem is that the modern type of lovedisplayed in this novels varies from the traditional myths as ladiesare portrayed as more independent and dependence on men isdiminished. Romance novels have different myths about differentcultures. In this novel`s characters who are meant to be partnerscannot be separated, sex is natural with the right partner, and alsothey show that for a woman to get a man, she should have aflourishing look.
The author takes the position of the narrator in this text so as tobe able to outlay her points of discussion well. By doing this, theauthor employs the metafiction literature device. The use of thisdevice is mostly associated with modern and postmodern literature.Unlike other methods of writing such as quantification, use ofmetafiction helps tell a fiction story which even reflects on itself.Metafiction uses many devices to tell a story. There are a fewexamples of metafiction devices used it story telling. Metafictionencompasses the telling of a story about a writer who says writes thestory. Also, another device is where the story features itself as anobject. A situation where the author describes his thoughts about thecharacter and how he created then offering a vivid description of thecharacters` behaviour is present in metafiction. Metafiction in manystories is evident if the story is addressing the specifics part ofthe story which includes the titles, the plot, the content and evendevices used in telling the story (Waugh 5). In metafiction, a readercan influence the method in which the writer is telling the story.
Many writers love using this device as it’s wider and allows theauthor to explore different content in the story and portray allcritical tools available to make the story more enjoyable. Chapterthree of this novel has many metafiction devices used in it, but themost important part of this chapter is that it brings into lightfactors affecting the acceptance of romance novels in the currentworld and also why there are so many critics of the genre. Thenarrator quotes herself about her past works, and this complementsthe story by showing how accurate, and if the story is pleasing. Thethread of the story line is more manipulatable with the use of thisdevice as the author can tell different stories and create differentscenes for the author to process then interlink all of them to comeup with one thesis for the story (Hutcheon 38). The writer can evenplace him or herself in the narrator’s position thus telling thestory in a first –person basis. Other devices used in this chapterinclude allusion, antagonism, conflicts, complications and evendramatic irony. The writer tries to shed more light in the effort ofinfluencing the readers to change their perception concerning romancenovels. The use of imagery is where the vivid description applied toa given picture such that it creates an image in the mind readersmind about the subject. The diction in this chapter is veryextemporary. The author has used the best choice of words so as toshow her attitude and suggests values of important consideration tothe readers. This piece of literature is thorough in creating anunderstanding of the theme and thus has achieved its intentions. Thisachievement of its purpose is vital readers, and different authorsneed guidance on why romance novels are just like another type ofbooks and reasons for their inclusion in the literature world.

Chapter three of the book "for the love of money" by LauraVivanco focusses on metafiction as a narrative technique used bywriters to create a story that will be interesting to their readers.This device encompasses fictions works which are more imaginary anddiffer a lot from the reality. In this chapter, the author hastherefore cited numerous examples of romantic books where the writershave applied metafiction technics to influence their reader`sperception towards romance. Due to the application of this techniqueby writers, many of them have been subjects to critics and thusleading to generalization and stereotyping of such books. LauraVivanco has therefore proven her broad knowledge on the topic ofromance in this chapter by making her arguments valid. She has donethis by backing up her analysis where by using actual examples fromrelated authors and researchers. Many people have carried outinvestigations about why romance novels and other metafiction genresdeserve respect just like other books from different genres. In thischapter, the author, therefore, attempts to identify various aspectsmetafiction in romance as reflected by most of the writers in theirnovels.
Laura Vivanco has therefore supported his thesis by explaining whymost critics of the romantic books try to prove fantasy genrestereotypes wrong. She argues that, as much as romantic novels rankamong the highest selling books in the market, there are still a fewvarying generalizations that affect them and their readers. Womenmostly read romance novels, and also they are mostly written byfemale authors (Dugger 2). It may be the reason media outletsovershadow the presence of this book in the literature world. Anotherromance novel writer says that the stereotyping comes from the otherliterary writers who do not like the idea of romance novels sellingmore than the other genre books. It is clear that when one criticizessomething, it will attract more attention to the subject even when itis negative. The negative attitude many people have created towardsromance novels has led to the denial of entry of this genre into theart world.
Laura Vivanco further backs her thesis on this chapter by focusing onthree storylines which provide the authors view on romance novelsfrom their past to their present and their place in the society. As away of bringing out her view on the issue, she uses Northrop Frye`sset of modes to write her analysis on romance novels. The givenmodels play a larger part in bringing out the comparison of romancenovels as fictitious and full of fantasy as compared to other genres.The first part is about defending romance and its readers from thefamiliar world stereotypes. She asserts that people who read andwrite romance novels have been stereotyped by the society thus makingit a big issue in the literature world. The second part provides adiscussion on claims in kinship during the classics. The third parttalks about romance and its relation to the traditional culture. Thesection, therefore, helps by showing the link between love and thetraditional culture and how other authors have presented this themein their novels. The authors argue that reading romance novels helpsreaders question the connection between reality and fiction. Fromthis, we can see an overgeneralization in criticizing romance novels.
The author tries to counter the belief that romance novels have noliterary artistry.

LauraVivanco argues that romance novels are many in the literature worldand a reader will not always pick an enjoyable book randomly. Some ofthis books are shallow, uninteresting and mediocre but this is commonwith the other genres too.
The author has also staged a comparison between romance novels andother types of literature thus leading to the questions as to whetherthis chapter falls into the category of art. Thus many supporters ofromance novels may be diverse and fast paced, but they are also veryartistic as the objects portrayed are beautiful and also veryfunctional. The ability of romance novels to draw emotions about acertain subject it what substitutes to art as it makes a reader thinkand react. Thus many critics have shown the need for analyzingromance novels and viewing them as literary texts rather thancultural artifacts. Some women also critic this books claiming thatthey are anti-feminist and that they portray women in a bad manner.Most stories in this genre in this genre end up to submission ofwomen to men, and this does not rub well with the feminist`s world.Romance authors counter this argument by arguing that their use offemale characters is a method of women empowerment to show that womenare strong too.
In love, women end up as heroines as opposed to other genres wherewomen are misused and degraded.

But this is not valid as people also readother books for similar purposes and the effects are the same.Romance novels are also very long at times, and this created thequestion to why a person can sit and read such a big book.
The story was popularized a lot by the western culture. The literaryways in which this novel envisions the characters has led to the riseof romance novels. Mostly the storylines are very predictable as theaspect of metafiction makes stories have the same meaning to readers.Romance novels encompass different types of love. A few examples arelove for children, romantic and sexual love, love of friends and manyother different versions. The reading of romance novels is morecharacterized by diverse cultures. In the current world, more womenand men are reading this stories as they suit their preferences. Theyhelp change the view of love among people thus are relevant in thesociety.

In thisnovel`s characters who are meant to be partners cannot be separated,sex is natural with the right partner, and also they show that for awoman to get a man, she should have a flourishing look.
The author has positioned herself as the narrator in this text as ameans of putting across her points of discussion. By doing this, theauthor employs the metafiction literature which associates with themodern and postmodern literature. Unlike other methods of writingsuch as quantification, use of metafiction helps tell a fiction storywhich even reflects on itself. Metafiction uses many devices to tella story. There are a few examples of metafiction devices used itstory telling. Metafiction encompasses the telling of a story about awriter who says writes the story. Also, another device is where thestory features itself as an object. A situation where the authordescribes his thoughts about the character and how he created thenoffering a vivid description of the characters` behavior is presentin metafiction. Metafiction in many stories is evident if the storyis addressing the specifics part of the story which includes thetitles, the plot, the content and even devices used in telling thestory (Waugh 5). In metafiction, a reader can influence the method inwhich the writer is telling the story.
Chapter three of this book has therefore offered many metafictiondevices used by the writers in different romantic books, but the mostimportant part of this chapter is that, it has brought into lightsome of the factors that have affecting the acceptance of romancenovels in the world leading to many critics of the genre. Thenarrator has also quoted herself about her past works, and thiscomplements the story by showing how accurate she is about the story.The author has also introduced a more manipulatable storylines withthe use of this devices that can tell different stories by creatingdifferent scenes to interlink all of them and come up with one thesisfor the story (Hutcheon 38). She has managed to place herself in thenarrator`s position thus making the story to appear in a first–person basis. Other devices used in this chapter include allusion,antagonism, conflicts, complications and even dramatic irony. Thewriter has also tried to shed more light by influencing the readersto change their perception towards romance novels. The use of imageryhas also been applied to give a vivid description to an image that itcreates in the minds of the readers towards the subject. The dictionin this chapter is very extemporary. The author has used the bestchoice of words so as to show her attitude and suggests values ofimportant consideration to the readers. This piece of literature isthorough in creating an understanding of the theme and thus hasachieved its intentions. This achievement of its purpose is vital tothe readers, and different authors need guidance on why romancenovels are just like another type of books and reasons for theirinclusion in the literature world. Basing on this analysis what aresome of the impression of the romance novels to their readers? Havethe critics succeeded in discouraging people from reading romancenovel? What is your individual perception towards love books?
Summary
Basing on the analysis Laura Vivanco`s novel “for love and money,”she has proven to have a deeper understanding on the use ofmetafiction and fantasy in most books of romance. She alludes thatthe structure of the romance genre books makes it hard to introducenew characters as the readers are pre-motivated and this diminishesoriginality and individuality. The author uses a set of mimetic modesto analyze issues, personalities and other factors as presented inthe books plot since the introduction. This method includes themyths, fiction, high and low mimetic modes and also the applicationof irony in this romances. Vivanco provides a brief view of howdifferent authors use this mode not unknowingly but as a method ofcreating a good literature text that is acceptable in the art world.The metafiction theme in romance novels which help acknowledge theirfiction status and their place in the modern culture. Just like theother types of stories, love books use phrases, metaphors, andsymbolism to draw emotions. The genre of books in this case isassociated with the western culture. Thus as a summary, we can saythat this novel is a well-written book which employs differentmethods to bring out its subject of discussion to the readers. Shehas also used many examples to elaborate on her analysis. A fewdisappointing factors about this chapter and the book in overall isthe use of long quotations which may end up destroying the reader’sattention on the story. The tone used also shows that the authorstill believes in the old view of romance and has not progressed andembraced modernized fantasy views. Stereotypes and generalization inaccordance to romance novels, their readers and the writers is yet tobe eradicated so as to allow the acceptance of romantic books intothe literature field.
