小说的叙述角度,在一件作品里,并不见得始终如一。热奈特指出,叙述角度可以有固定式、不定式和多重式。他说,“把前后一致视为荣誉攸关的规范显然是武断的”;还说,各个叙述角度的区别,不总是那么纯粹、清晰。比如,当叙述者被当作小说中的一个人物(也就是内聚焦)时,本来,作品中的一切都应该通过这个人物的眼睛, The narrative angle of the novel is not always consistent in a work. Genette pointed out that the narrative angle can be fixed, infinitive and multiple. He said that “consistently arguing as the norm of honor is obviously arbitrary”; also said that the distinction between the various narrative angles is not always so pure and clear. For example, when a narrator is treated as a character in a novel (ie, in-focus), everything in the work should pass through the person’s eyes.
