I. Introduction
As a perfect work of modern narrative art, Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, through a combination of its content and form, fully demonstrates the author’s effort for the development of traditional narrative techniques. Through using the new and unique narrative point of view and the exquisite arrangement of spatio-temporal structure, the author creates a dramatic effect to highlight the ideological content of works. This article will carry on the analysis of the narrative art of The great Gatsby. Through it we can not only learn the author’s superb writing skills, but also understand the young people’s dream and pursuit in that century. As for the present research situation, most scholars have reflected the analysis of this theme in “Burst of American dream”, but few scholars have carried on research to the artistic feature of the works.
My essay is different from my predecessors, because I explore the novel’s narrative techniques through the guidance of modern narrative and my detailed analysis. Because this essay is written in the spirit of offering detailed analysis and precise argumentation, I take advantage of the large body of recent criticism and remarks on The Great Gatsby along with my own comprehensive textual analysis of it. On the whole, it is pided into four chapters. The first part is the significance of the topic. The second part is the introduction of the Great Gatsby. The third part provides a detailed description of the novel’s narrative techniques in accordance with modern narratology. It also deals with time and place of the narrative respectively. The fourth part is conclusion, which summarizes the analysis of the narrative skills of the Great Gatsby.
