《看不见的人》的叙述学分析

Invisible Man:An Analysis from the Perspective of Narratology

《看不见的人》是美国自二战以来最具影响力的小说之一。结合作品本身,从叙述学的角度去探讨作品,可以揭示作品内在结构的独到之处:第一人称叙述、人物思想的不同表达方式、叙述者与叙述接受者的关系等叙事策略的应用,将主人公寻求自身身份认同的主题逐步展现出来,从而使小说成为一部形式和内容完美结合的作品。

Invisible Man is considered to be one of the best works since the Second World War. The paper concentrates on the work itself and studies it in terms of narratology and reveals some important internal structural features of the work. The narrative strategies such as the first-person narration, speech presentation and the narrator-narratee relationship help to develop the theme of Invisible Man, which exhibits the narrator＇s development in his search for his identity, from blackness to light, from ignorance to enlightenment.
