| Vladimir Nabokov was born in Russia and became an American because of political cause.he was one of the most controversial writer of Twentieth century.His rigid standpoint about the Reader is the most important question in Nabokov critic,and this was the cause that he was reproached.As a matter of fact,Nabokov was not a witer who wrote just for himself,on the contrary,he expected a reader opponent matched,because his literary skill and strategy must be realized in good readers.therefore,I think if we set up a view from reader,and studied Nabokov'scraft in this angle,will be an usefull way for us to enter Nabokov's art world. Question from the expectance field of vision of reader1.The expectance field of vision of readerIn 1967,Jauss'thesis"Literary History as a Challenge to Literary Theory"pushed reader to the stage of critic.In this thesis,The expectance of Reader is the central concept.This concept was utilized of evaluating a new work,an excellent work is not only in reader's expectance but also making wonder,exceeding reader's expectance.So,why Nabokov's novel often led to intense controvery?His novels were never hard reading, they can bring reader familial style,structure or plot,idea,but they also exceed reader's expectance,and lead to controvery and taste.2.Exceeding the expectance field of vision of reader——trap of Nabokov's parodyParody,if we explain it on the basis of The new Encyclopaedia Britannica is "a form of irony or parody,it imitate a writer or a tributary'style or skill,in order to stess they flaw and conventional."Parody is the key for us to enter Nabokov' art world,if we analyzed it carefully,we can see that,his novel had included every kind skill of parody:all kind of conventional, plot of classics,popular theories……we divided Nabokov's parody into idea and form two side rouphly,in order to analyzed his parody skill. A writer can just imitate,ponder and mock when he acquainted the original work. This game of knowledge is the distinct character of nabokov's literary art.二．The detail enchantment of Nabokov from Roland Barthes' read theory 1.The repeated reading point of Roland BarthesRoland Barthes divided all texts into two kinds:texte lisible and texte scriptable.texte lisible was expounded a good consumed,but the texte scriptable was a course of produce,it was the value of the text.It is evident that consuming a text as a product is a way of least initiative,it just a way of eating time.But real literature request repeated reading,in this process,could the text show its new content. 2.Novels request repeated reading——charming of nabokov's detailHow Nabokov exceeded the conventional of prototype,and made his novels scriptable? It is because of his skill of wonderful details, this is one of the most important style character of Nabokov.There are two kinds of details in Nabokov's novel.One kind is the flame made up by magnificent details;the other is hint behind these flames.My thesis analysises Nabokov'details from Lolita and Pale Fire.Nabokov's novels never charactered by plot and theme,he emphasized style of writing and wit.the readers couldn't abandoned his novel as the time they knew the plot,they were absorbed to repeat reading again and again.三．Seek for ideal readers——the reader topic in Nabokov's novels 1.Nabokov'ideal reader(1)Capable of literature In his work Structuralist Poetics ,Culler Jonathan raised the question of literature capable.A reader should have a degree of drill that can comprehend the novel better,so the writers had their ideal reader.(2)Nabokov's view of reading:opposing for request of meaningThe skill is an artist distinct from the others,so an artist couldn't satisfied when his readers knew the meaning of his text.Nabokov liked to make riddles have elegant answer,but his answers are nevel meaning of the novel,they are the stategem for telling story.these riddles added the difficulty for readers, they had to search,compare and link up all details,when they...
