Fever utilizes a more complex narrative structure than many other short stories. It does not tell a complete story in the sense that the reader can read through and identify a clearly defined beginning, middle, and end. Instead, all the distinct sections of the story—some of which, however, do unfold chronologically and in a more ordered fashion—work together to make a composite picture of a specific time and place as well as to present more general themes about the human condition.
