In 1961, Booth in "The Rhetoric of Fiction" for the first time proposed the "unreliable narrator" and the "implied author" concept, and made the decision not to rely on unreliable narrator in between the reader and the implied author conspiracy. However, due to Booth for the ability of the excesses that he will determine the most unreliable narrator, are handed over power to the hands of that implied that a distinction between the specification of the reliability of the narrator's standards. This careful analysis of the implied meaning and the implied author of the capacity constraints, re-amended the Booth for the unreliable narrator's definition.The man with Phelan and other representatives of a group of theorists think that the key to distinguish the unreliable narrator is the reader's reasoning is to take place. The author of "The Catcher in the Rye" as an example, illustrates the dynamic role of the reader by exaggerating will lead to misreading.Typical of many articles through the unreliable narrator containing the text of the analysis, we want to be clear: the yardstick unreliable narrator is the implied author is neither complete nor entirely in the reader, but rather between the two interaction and resonance. This determination is unreliable narrator to provide a new and more detailed theoretical basis for judging process.In the last, the author analyzes the unreliable narration in the text of the role of aesthetic construction. This problem is mainly divided into three points: (1) the use of unreliable narration means that the objective of showing the true history of stroke under different life perspective on the performance of more than text. (2) unreliable narrative than directly discussing more likely to cause readers to think and resonance. (3) not reliable, according as the vague description of the beauty of their own.
