The construction of

7、e presentation in anarrativeare the two features most commonly invoked to distinguish novels from histories. Novels can, on the other hand, depict the social, political, and personal realities of a place and period with a clarity and detail historians would not dare to explore. Novels are supposed t

Forster
9、 was a successful novelist and later an academic. Three of his novels,A Room with a View (看得見(jiàn)風(fēng)景的房間)(1908),Howards End(霍華德莊園)(1910) andA Passage to India(印度之行)(1924) have been made into films. 圍繞家產(chǎn)繼承權(quán)和女主人公的婚姻鋪敘了一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的“故事”。但是,在更重要的層面上,這是一部有關(guān)英國(guó)以及人類文明的寓言。He makes a clear distinction between story and plo
10、t, and emphases the relationship between character and incident. And his discussion of fantasy, prophecy and rhythm encourages us that truly great writing goes beyond storytelling.Astory isa narrative of events arranged in their time sequence it simply tells us what happened and in what order.This e
11、mphasis on chronological sequence is a difference from real life. Our real lives also unfold through time but have the added feature that some experiences have greater value and meaning than others. Value has no role in a story, which is concerned withthe life in timerather thanthe life by values.A
12、novelist can only begin to explore the value of human experiences by developing the characters of the story. But Forster emphasizes that characters are not real people; rather they arelikereal people.Sometimes characters can seem to be more real than the people around us, and this is because a novel
13、ist is able to reveal the charactershidden life. Forster distinguishes between flat characters and round characters.The really flat character can be expressed in one sentence. These characters are easily recognized when first introduced and easily remembered afterwards.A round character by contrast
14、has further dimensions to their personality, which are revealed as events demand them. A flat character never surprises us with their behaviour, but a round character may well surprise us with these unsuspected aspects of their nature; andthe test of a round character is whether it is capable of sur
15、prising in a convincing way.Dickens wrote flat characters superbly well.Nearly every one can be summed up in a sentence, and yet there is this wonderful feeling of human depth. Probably the immense vitality of Dickens causes his characters to vibrate a little, so that they borrow his life and appear
16、 to lead one of their own. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died,” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief,”is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.Consider the
17、 death of the queen. If it is in a story we say “and then?” If it is in a plot we ask “why?” “The king died and then the queen died,”“The king died, and then the queen died of grief,”Weve discussed the definition, key features and key elements of and in fiction.Source: Wikipedia and Forsters Aspects
