Abstract

Duality is one of the important features of Margaret Atwood's overall creation. His novel "Blind Killer" (also translated as "Blind Assassin") makes the duality more complicated and pluralistic through the narrative structure of "Chinese Boxing", which manifested as personal memory and public memory, false and true, history and fictitious three groups of unity of opposites. From the narrative structure, based on the thorough reading of the text and the analysis of feminism, this article analyzes the dual characteristics of the "blind assassin" and finds out that Atwood's unique narrative structure reveals the hidden and true living conditions of the female.
