《了不起的盖茨比》的叙事结构模式与艺术效果

The narrative model of The Great Gatsby and its effects

《了不起的盖茨比》采取了第一人称内聚焦模式,这种聚焦模式很好地适应了故事内容与主题的表达。聚焦人物尼克.卡罗威既是故事的讲述者又是故事中关键人物,这样的设计拉近了叙述者与故事的距离,且在信息控制与距离调节方面具有独特的优势,从而一波三折地表述了一个情节简单的故事。

The first-person internal focalization narrative model that The Great Gatsby used makes this simple-plot story vivid and meaningful. The focalization person Nick Carraway is not only the narrator of the story but also an important character in the story, which shortens the distance between narrator and story,and moreover,it has distinctive advantage of information control and feelings adjusting.
