A Perspective Study Of Children's Narrative In Alice Monroe's Novels

Child narrative refers to the narrative of children's events,behaviors and psychology in adult literature.It is a narrative discourse method that uses children as the narrative object.With the renewal of literary ideas and the deepening of literary creation,children's narratives have become an important phenomenon in fictional works.The works of children as characters or narrators have also attracted the attention of the literary world because of their unique narrative effects.Some writers also use this.From the perspective of constructing his own textual features and literary values,Canada's short story writer Alice Munro is one of the most representative writers.Among the more than 100 works published by Munro,children's narratives are extremely prominent.Almost every part of the fourteen works has articles about children's narratives,especially ‘Lives of Girls and Women',almost all of which Child narrative,‘Who do you think you are' also has nearly half of the articles involved in children's narrative.The narrative problem of children is not only an indispensable angle for us to interpret Munro's works,but also the key to deeply understanding its literary thoughts and artistic values.At the same time,the study of this issue can deepen and enrich our understanding of current children's narrative literature.This paper takes the narrative perspective as the entry point,mainly adopts the narrative perspective theory of the Russian literary theorist Usbinski and the Israeli literary theorist Mon Kenan,and systematically sorts out and summarizes the narrative phenomenon of children in Munro's works,focusing on the ideological level perspective,the space-time level perspective and the psychological level perspective.All of them have been interpreted and analyzed.At the same time,based on the extensive introduction of other relevant narratological research results,this study combines text analysis with formal research,and strives to break the limitations of some theoretical studies.Specifically,this paper focuses on: firstly,the perspective type and literary value of children's narrative in Munro's novels.From the perspective of ideology construction,explore the main strategies of children's narrative in Munro's works;from the perspective of the shaping of time-space layer,explore the unique significance of the space-time dimension to the narrative characteristics of Munro's children narrative;from the perspective of the feeling of psychological focus,explore the principle of cognition and feeling.Meanwhile,the research based on the perspective of children's narration in Munro's works highlights the significance of combining the phenomenon of children's narration with perspective research.Through this research,we can find out: Firstly,unlike the polyphonic form of traditional children's narrative,the children's narrative in Munro's novels is more determined by its monotonous tone.Both the narrator and the voice of the narrator have a strong sense of gender,and the two groups of children and women have reached cooperation in Munro's writings.Her children's narrative has been given strong gender consciousness,which is one of the most prominent features of children's narrative in Munro's novels.The consistency of the spatial position between the narrator and the characters and the comprehensiveness of the time combination make the narrative both true and absurd.The spatio-temporal tension highlights the enormous vitality of Munro's short stories.Second,because of her children-oriented emotional principle and the cognitive principle of focusing on change itself,Munro has deepened her narrative brushstrokes into all aspects of children's growth,and wrote about the concept of time and space,death consciousness,self-construction,and various social relationships in the process of children's growth.Of course,Munro is not completely immersed in the child's field of vision,but eventually rises from the child's psychological world to the care and thinking of the whole humanity,and thus reflects her unique creative concept: feeling the eternal change of life.
