The Red Narrator: A Narratological Analysis of Ivan Ivanovic’s Novel Red King

Birsena Džanković

Abstract


The stratification of the narrative world of the Red King is obvious and the degree of the narrator’s involvement in the story varies with the given narrative situation. Zoran Jugovic is the character, the hero of his story, he is the one who narrates and he mostly remarks, observes, focalizes the events which constitute the narrative world of the Red King. If we divide the narrative instance of the narrative world of the Red King into three parts, we will notice that the primary element of the narrative system of the mentioned Romanesque realization is collected in one linguistic creation.
The hero, the narrator, the focalizer - they have the same identity, each segment has the same name. Therefore, Zoran Jugovic contains different narratological components - he is bot the narrator and the hero, the character, the protagonist and the focalizer of the events. The noetic capacity of the Red King focalizer is limited by its internal vision since the narrative instance of this work is multilayered and brings together more narratological functions, their perceptual abilities are in line with the aforemen-tioned. What characterizes this narrative and makes it specific is the subjective relation to the narrated, the partiality, the limited, the narrowed line of the perspective, and all mentioned significantly influences the story and its construction.

Keywords
