Ovid marks this shift, the first sustained perspective change in 141 lines, merely with the main caesura of 758. Arguably, such a fluid movement means that it is unhelpful to think of this passage simply as a marker between the dénouement of one narrative and the exposition of another; to do so would be to ignore the poet’s structural indentation in addition to the ‘gobbetting’ of the passage itself. The implication is that Ovid treats the gods in Perseus’ Homeric sacrifice with the same narratological

Cultural Theory, Barry defines narratology “as the study of how narratives make meaning, and what the basic mechanisms and procedures are which are common to all acts of story-telling” (Barry 214). Barry also introduces the narrative theories of famous narratologists - Aristotle, Vladimir Propp, and Gerard Genette. In Genette’s theory, he discusses six areas including narrative mode, focalisation, kinds of narrators, timing, types of narratives, and different types of speeches. The story “How to Date a

This therefore begs the question as to why Forster would want to deny identity. One view is that Forster’s compromise between identity and conventional narrative was perhaps necessary for the time as Forster would have known that “what first made a homosexual identity out of incoherent homosexual acts was a force both hostile and repressive .” On this basis, the denial of identity was necessary for Maurice

Narrative is the root of some fields which includes education, rhetoric, literature, religion, law, history: culture (Wilson, 1989). It can be seen as a tool to create traditions and symbols as means of communication and it is a source to understand and strengthen the identity of the organisation (Kroeze and Keulen, 2013). As a conceptual theme, narrative becomes a self-conscious system and a reflexive field. In other words, the role of narrative in personal lives is to show how it can be utilized

This exercise throws the literary text into a new light, where different interpretations result in better understanding. Gerard Genette a Structuralist has given a comprehensive outlook on the three major typologies of narratology like story, narrative and narration. In the present paper, the authors have attempted to read Somerset Maugham’s short story The Pool by rigorously applying Gerard Genette’s categories, namely mood and voice. Under mood, ‘distance’ and ‘perspective’ have been analysed

like-minded individuals” (394). Readers and characters are consciously aware of the irrationality. Furthermore, in “Schizophrenic Narrative” by Lee R. Edwards, he views schizophrenia in narratives as purely linguistic and a “locus of both a challenge and fascination” (28). In a suitable manner, readers are incorporating this maddening disorder due to the stylistic mode the authors are using, “by virtue of their inability to define, express, or experience themselves as self-sufficient monads” (Edwards

One of these innovations is the use of fragmentation and juxtaposition of ideas, images , scenes, settings, sentences and even sentences. Benefiting from the cinematic technique of montage, his narrative came to be suffocating with fragmentary sentences that flash back to other events. The obscurity is very high in the first chapter with Benjy’s narration. As a severely retarded man he cannot distinguish past and present and in this way all his words

Ansgar Nünning’s cognitive narratological approach to the study of narrative unreliability and its relationship to the processes of resistance and change in Dangarembga’s novel, Nervous Conditions (NC). It is argued here that the first-person narrator of the novel, Tambudzai Sigauke (Tambu), has a certain vision of change through which she hopes to strike against both patriarchy and colonialism. Certain aspects of Tambu’s narrative voice, however, lead the reader to doubt the authenticity of such
