Cleverly Constructed Scenes

4 weeks ago 23

I’m looking for examples of scenes in literature that have a noticeably clever construction.

To elaborate: in poetry, we might commonly remark on the cleverness of a poem’s structure — the way the last line echoes the first, the way each stanza progresses the reader’s journey, etc.

Obviously prose is not poetry, and a “scene” (however we’re defining that) is not a one-to-one parallel to a poem. However, I’m curious as to whether anyone has come across scenes — whether in classic literature or modern fiction — that utilise a particularly clever or effective structure.

Thanks in advance!
