What is the actual pattern for MVC?
The confusion is because of the MVC architechture diagrams floating on the internet:

`example1: ` Probably the best one I have seen.
![MVC][1]

`example 2: `
![MVC][2]

`example 3: `<br/>
![MVC][3]


>What I am mainly concentrating is on, how the view interacts with controller(s) & model(s).
>
+ Should the view interact directly with model(s)? 
+ Should the model directly update any changes to the view(s)?
+ Is the diagram in `example2` a misinterpretation of MVC as it looks like its a MVP([1][5])([2][6])pattern.

An example of MVC vs MVP:
