The semantic foundations of the ordeal plot are traditionally detailed as an opposition between labyrinthine and anomic settings on the one hand and a quest for moral authenticity on the other. In urban crime fiction we can clearly see how modern literature transforms this model in an attempt to cope with the "modernity syndrome" (the paradoxical co-existence of decoding and recoding mechanisms).
