gross and obvious inconsistencies.” (The Literary Panorama). While the critic attempts to expose some inconsistencies in the story, the acerbity in his review of the novel is unfair based on the support he provides. The irony of this review is that although he tries to expose the plot’s inconsistencies, he uses a non-issue as backing, and yet misses the most glaring oversight in the novel. The critic begins with a nice summary of the plot and then moves on to the inconsistencies in the novel. An

The first type of inconsistency or the internal inconsistency of the maxim relates to the fact that, as we noted earlier, maxims are principles of action in that they provide directives that we intend to realize; this intention is what we mean when we say that we have willed the maxim.

One of these stories is the anointing at Bethany, which is only found in Matthew and Mark.
