Michel De Montainge

            It is impossible to write exactly what you mean. No matter how many words people use things are always implied to a certain degree. In his story “Good Old Neon” David Foster Wallace states that everything is too interconnected and everything in the world happens to fast for words to possibly describe. The essays of Michel De Montaigne support this notion. Montaigne’s style with a “stream of consciousness” approach seems to support this claim especially when compared to Jane Austen’s style in Pride and Prejudice which utilizes third person limited.
