According to Frank’s theory, chaotic stories are due to the absence of narrative order. “The lack of any coherent sequence is an initial reason why chaos stories are hard to hear. The teller is not understood as telling a ‘proper’ story. But more significantly, the teller of the chaos story is not heard to be living a ‘proper’ life” (97). This is also the case of the story of Ravelstein. People can only understand the meaning of an illness if they listen carefully to what the patients want to say, so hearing the story of Ravelstein is not easy.
