Summary/Abstract: Why do we need suture? What wounds do we have that need suture? What are the cuts that require sewing up? Are there certain cuts that we all share? Are there certain cuts that women have? In the following paper I seek the answers to these questions by attempting to interpret Margaret Drabble’s novel The Waterfall (1969) along the lines of Kaja Silverman’s suture theory as she synthesizes it in The Subject of Semiotics (1983).
