Abstract: The Catcher in the Rye, published in 1951, is the only published novel of J.D. Salinger. The novel has exerted great influence on the American society and literary world and sometimes it is called “Modern Classic” of American literature in the 20th century. The protagonist is an adolescent named Holden Caulfield and in the novel, he is the only narrator telling his experience in New York City around last Christmas. While Holden is both the character and the narrator in the novel, his first person narrative is bound to be subjective. The thesis aims to study the unreliable narration on the basis of Wayne C. Booth and James Phelan’s theory of unreliable narration, analyzing the text clues of unreliable narration and its effects. The first part is the introduction to the writer J.D. Salinger and the plots of The Catcher in the Rye. The second part is the literature review on the novel and theories of unreliable narration. The third part analyzes the clues in the text which indicates that Holden is a unreliable narrator and various types of his unreliable narrative according to James Phelan’s classification on three axes. The fourth part discusses the effects of unreliable narration on the theme of the novel.29526

《麦田里的守望者》中的不可靠叙述研究摘要:《麦田里的守望者》是美国作家塞林格唯一的一部长篇小说,出版于1951年,在美国社会和文学界产生过巨大影响,被誉为“现代经典”。小说的主人公霍尔顿•考菲尔德是一名16岁的青少年,在这部小说中,霍尔顿是唯一的叙述者回忆着他在去年的圣诞节在纽约城的经历及感想。在小说中,霍尔顿既是故事中的人物又是故事的叙述者,他的叙述必然是主观的。本文从叙事学角度主要应用韦恩•布斯和费伦的不可靠叙述理论,分析不可靠叙述的文本线索及其艺术效果。本文的第一部分是对小说作者杰罗姆•塞林格及小说主要情节的介绍。第二部分是理论陈述,对国内外学者对《麦田里的守望者》的研究以及不可靠叙述相关的理论做梳理与总结。第三部分是分析文本中透露出霍尔顿是一个不可靠叙述者的线索并根据詹姆斯•费伦有关不可靠叙述在三大轴上的分类,对霍尔顿的不可靠叙述进行详细分析。第四部分是探讨不可靠叙事策略对小说主题的揭示的作用。
