精致的感觉 多变的节奏——谈小说叙事视角的功能

The Function of Point of View in a Novel

一部小说叙述视角的载体基本可以分成两大类:全知视角和限知视角。全知视角模式是迄今为止,人类文学史上使用得最多、发展得最成熟的一种叙事方式,在鸿篇巨制中,全知视角能够支撑起宏大的叙事结构。小说限知视角的选择本身就渗透了某种感情评价,体现了对世界感知的深遂。总体的全知视角并不排除局部的限知视角。二者结合使作品色调丰富,同时调节叙事节奏,使得小说结构显得轻盈。

The point of view in a novel can be divided into two categories, the complete one and limited one. The complete point of view is the narration mode that has been used for the most times and perfectly developed up to now. In great works, it can set up a grand narration structure. On the other side, the limited point of view, with some kind of emotion judgment in it, displays a deep perception about the world. All--round complete point of view does not get rid of the part limited one. The combination of these two kinds of points of view can make the work colorful and its structure graceful by regulating the narration rhythm.
