Abstract

As part of the narratology, narrative perspectives in novels have obtained attention and have been researched worldwide. Narrative perspectives, as a disciplinary study, have been popular around the world since the 20th Century. The research fever tended to reach its peak in the International Seminar on Narrative Perspectives held in Holland in 1995. This paper selects a special and infrequent perspective of the third party------ a narrative perspective of the non-vocal protagonist as a third party, two representative works “Bedside , from the third party’s perspective of single internal focalization” and “The Metamorphosis, from the third party’s perspective of stationary internal focalization”, to do the comparative analysis from two aspects, and draws a primary conclusion of “Whether Non-vocal Protagonists Could Be Narrative Perspectives”.
