Magic Realism, which can not be arrived at it core by the4 way of enumerating the definition of the specialties, is a concept full of paradoxes. It has to be rebrought into a logical in this paper, according to Aristotle's explanation of definition, to put it into a specific species, and figure out its particularity. After this step toward the final definition, while Magical Realism is examined in logical way, the uniqueness of the concepts in the field of humanities should be paid attention to. The concepts in humanities are not results from experiences completely, the particularities, included in them do not always share the sameness. The only common trait they have is the unanimity in direction. Concretely, this unanimity in Magic Realism means the likeness of the ideas and emotional inclinations of those writers.The way that defines Magic Realism according to the ideas and emotional inclinations should be shown its imperfectness in the process of analyzing. Not only it is useless to clear the boundary of Magic Realism on this uniform, but also it results to a transformation from noumenonn to the function, making the foundation of this study virtually disappear. That Magic Realism is subordinated to schools of literature in this paper is to remove dangers this kind of unitarily brings. To be sure, the number of particularity, including the increasing and decreasing, is not at random. What is to be done in this paper is to put them into a particular frame of interpretation to analysis them systematically.The four key elements of Abrams is reformed in this paper, especially, the"universe"and"audience"are reorientated. Three relationships, the writer-text, text-world and text-audience, are brought into the new interpretation frame, a frame for interpretation of Magic Realism. The frame of interpretation is focused of Magic Realism writer's hopeless perseverance sticking to the tradition. And it is this perseverance diverted the writer's narrative to the past. The antithesis between past and present is just the antithesis between life and death, the sacredness of past has got a articulating accordingly, to the effect that affects some other relations. That author's interpret the events mystically mythicize the plot. Reader's realism requirement must be content so that the creating of plot up and down between mythologization and realization. As to the author seek after the psyche reality, reality is real itself, mythologization is real in the view of archetype also. Readers have no choice between these two realities, so that they accept the narrative indefinitely.So far, this paper has finished the whole definition process from species to particularity , and in this frame of interpretation,Magic realism is a literature school , which its plot creating inclined mythologization because of author emotion to tradition and inclined realization owing to audience requirement, creating two contradictory reality at the same time.
