Abstract
Narrative Structure in Mo Yan’s novel(Troubles of Life)<br /> This paper primarily gives a short biography of the novelist Mo Yan, followed by an analysis of the literary context of the novel as well as Mo Yan’s novelistic creativity. The paper also aims to identify how the writer built his narrative texts by analyzing the structural elements that make up the novel Troubles of Life, and the techniques that the writer relied on in constructing these elements, in terms of the novelistic structure and point of view. The study also aims at providing an answer to several questions that include the main problems that the paper addresses, namely: What is the importance of studying Mo Yan's narrative structure? How far has he succeeded in constructing his narrative text? Has he given more attention to one structural element at the expense of others? What is the technical basis for this due attention? Has he used modern artistic techniques in his text, or was he satisfied with traditional ones? What is the literary school that governs his novel-writing experience? To which literary writers’ generation does he belong? Are there any unique characteristics that distinguished his novels? What are the artistic features of his narrative structure? Thus, the paper concludes with a complete analysis of the writer's narrative structure. <br /> Keywords: Mo Yan, narrative structure, narrative point of view, narrative elements
