Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The point of view in the narrative work is one of the most important manifestations of its narrative features. Changes such as the transformation, the transgression, and the shift of the point of view not only reflect the perspectives from which the narrator obseves the world of the story but also demonstrate the distance relationships between the narrator, the narratee and the character. The article explores the narrative features in The Great Gatsby in terms of the point of view and concludes that in The Great Gatsby the first-person narration, though limited in essence, tends to be omniscient or partially omniscient.
