A Study Of The Marriages Between Zones Three,Four And Five From The Perspective Of Narratology

The Marriage Between Zones Three,Four and Five is the second one of the "Space Fiction"series written by Lessing in 1980s.The thesis applies the theory of the classical narratology to analyze the narrative art of the novel from three levels,namely,the narrative perspective,the narrative character and the narrative time.The perspective shift of "omniscience" and "limited point of view" strengthens the dramatic effect of the novel.The methods of direct definition and indirect definition shape the vivid characters.The difference Between story time and discourse time strengthens rhythm sensation of narration.Through the analysis of narrative art,we can find the problems blocking the development of zones and the difficulties of communication Between zones,but the marriages help remove the obstacles of communication and the problems blocking the development of zones.The novel reveals Lessing’s care of different cultures.In the time of internationalization,the best choice to solve the problems blocking the development is to strengthen the communication of cultures.
