As a new criticism way,the Narrative Ethics has caused the widespread influence in recent years .The goal of the article will lie in through taking"focalization"which is the very important category in the narrate study domain as the breakthrough point carrying on a practice attempt of Narrate Ethics.Introduction: By introducing the history of Moral criticism and Esthetic criticism,the Narrative Ethics taken as a attempt which unifies the moral criticism and the esthetic criticism, has the very big theory significance and the practice value.Part I: By limiting the zero-focalization, it was clear about the own characteristic of zero-focalization. In ethics implication aspect, zero-focalization displays a kind of God's ethics superiority. The author uses own superiority, carries on the critical at will insertion, carries on the morals to the reader to admonish. But reader's initiative is relatively small, blindly follows suit to the author. Zero-focalization has displayed the root in the humanity to the authentic pursue, simultaneously has also received the influence of current thought influence.Part II: By limiting the internal focalization, it was clear about the own characteristic of internal focalization. In ethics implication aspect, it shows a point to individual innermost feelings and the individual value affirmation. In the novel, the author yields in the concealment author, author's sound is more covert. The internal focalization appearances to reflect people's interest already diverting from outside world's observation to awareness of the internal world, the individual significance is day by day important.Part III: By limiting the external focalization, it was clear about the own characteristic of external focalization. In ethics implication aspect, it reflects author's indifference and aloofness in value questions. The author hides own sound in the novel narrative process avoids the author emotion and the value judgment. External focalization can create one kind of reading initiative. External focalization is the reflection of the modern capitalism society's dissimilation.PartⅣ: By limiting the multi-focalization, it was clear about the own characteristic of external focalization. In ethics implication aspect, the multi-focalization has the obvious resolution the authority and the denial value tendency. the uncertainty of text cause the reader to be unable to obtain the determination significance. The multi-focalization is a kind of narrative strategy in post- modern societyConclusion: By summarizing this article's primary coverage, it is thought that the focusing way is similar to the author's eyes.
