Why is it said that The Red and the Black is a transition from a traditional closed structure to a modern open structure?

The artistic achievement of The Red and the Black is also manifested in the transition from traditional closed structure to modern open structure. The work inherited the layout of "Tom Jones", with Yulian's career, love for the development of clues, focusing on the description of his life in the small towns, provincial cities, Paris and prison four scenes, and in the writing method to overcome the "Tom Jones" dragging the ills, and the formation of the main trunk of the obvious, sparse and dense structural features, and the "Red and Black" has got rid of the pure according to the "time of the continuation of the" arrangement of the plot pattern. The Red and the Black" has got rid of purely in accordance with the "continuation of time" arrangement of the plot pattern, to the "space" long novel transition, showing the author of the "traditional plot" contempt and the works of "internal rhythm This shows the author's contempt for the "traditional plot" and the importance he attaches to the "inner rhythm" of the work. What the work shows is the "change of mind" in the "space" of a "specific era" such as 1830, and the rapid change of time and place, the sudden appearance of the characters, the tense and incoherent dialogues, and so on, are more and more important to the author. The rapid change of time and place, the sudden appearance of the characters, and the tense and incoherent dialogues all add to the modern element of the work. When Yulian learns of his wife's letter of denunciation, he rushes to his hometown church to shoot his wife in anger. Under the transportation situation at that time, it takes three or four days, or even a week, to reach the small town from Paris, and how can a person's emotional excitement last for such a long period of time? The temporal and spatial multilayering caused by this plot undoubtedly makes the novel. This masterpiece not only continues the characteristics of the closed structure but also adds the characteristics of the "psychological structure" of modern novels.
