Making Stories

Law, Literature, Life

Jerome Bruner

Stories pervade our daily lives, from human interest news items, to a business strategy described to a colleague, to daydreams between chores. Stories are what we use to make sense of the world. But how does this work? In Making Stories, the eminent psychologist Jerome Bruner examines this pervasive human habit and suggests new and deeper ways to think about how we use stories to make sense of lives and the great moral and psychological problems that animate them. Looking at legal cases and autobiography as well as literature, Bruner warns us not to be seduced by overly tidy stories and shows how doubt and double meaning can lie beneath the most seemingly simple case.

Bond himself, Fleming said, was “a compound of all the secret agents and commandos I met during the war,” but his tastes — in blondes, martinis “shaken, not stirred,” expensively tailored suits, scrambled eggs, short-sleeved shirts and Rolex watches — were Fleming’s own. But not all the comparisons were ones the author liked to encourage. Bond, he said, had “more guts than I have” as well as being “more handsome.” And he was eager to discourage the idea that he had been as much of a Lothario as Bond before his marriage to Ann Rothermere, whom he wed in 1952, the year he wrote “Casino Royale.”
But the exhibition suggests otherwise.




Lothario is a character in Nicholas Rowe's 1703 play The Fair Penitent. He seduces and betrays the female lead. The name has come to mean any handsome seducer, generally male.
A nobleman in Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795) who is frequently involved in romantic affairs and is, in one instance, required to fight a duel with an angry husband, is likewise named Lothario.
Additionally, there is a character named Lothario in the story The Impertinent Curiosity, which the characters of Cervantes' Don Quixote [c. 1605] read aloud. In this story-within-a-story, Anselmo coerces his faithful friend Lothario to test his wife's virtue. Though Lothario sincerely attempts to dissuade Anselmo in the matter, his friend insists, and Lothario eventually falls in love with Anselmo's wife, Camilla.
