Abstract

In the realm of narrative literary works, it is common to encounter episodes of characters escaping. With consideration to the independence of the escaping subject, the motives behind the action of escaping can be categorized into three types: self-liberation, emotional support, and absolute freedom. The action of “escape” serves a variety of crucial functions in the narrative process, including refining characterization, adding complexity to the storyline, and providing momentum for the development of the plot. Additionally, it plays a powerful role in shaping the two environments of the previous existence and the future world of pursuit. The observation and classification of the action of “escape” provide an opportunity for a deeper comprehension of the richness and subtlety of narrative art. Overall, the analysis of the theme of “escape” emphasizes the potential of narrative storytelling to explore the intricacies of the human experience and to provide valuable insight into the human condition.
