EFFECT OF NARRATOLOGY IN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF NADINE GORDIMA’S ‘’THE CONSERVATIONIST’’
1. Introduction
Narratology, the study of narrative structures and their influence on storytelling, plays a crucial role in shaping character development. Nadine Gordimer’s novel The Conservationist (1974) offers a rich field for examining how narrative techniques can impact character development within the context of South Africa’s political landscape during apartheid. The novel tells the story of Mehring, a wealthy white landowner, whose life is defined by the complex relationships he has with the land, people, and his own identity. Gordimer uses a combination of narrative techniques, including point of view, time manipulation, and fragmented storytelling, to explore themes of power, race, and guilt.
This research aims to explore how Gordimer’s use of narratological elements contributes to the construction and development of the protagonist’s character. By analyzing the narrative structure, focus will be placed on how narrative choices influence the reader’s perception of Mehring, his motivations, conflicts, and eventual transformation (or lack thereof).
2. Problem Statement
Nadine Gordimer’s The Conservationist intricately combines complex character development and political critique, with narrative techniques playing a significant role in both. However, the impact of narratological techniques on character development in this specific work has not been fully explored in existing academic discourse. This research seeks to fill this gap by providing a detailed analysis of how Gordimer’s manipulation of narrative elements shapes the development of Mehring and the way his character engages with the political and personal struggles surrounding him.
3. Research Objectives
To analyze the narratological techniques employed by Nadine Gordimer in The Conservationist.
To explore how these narrative techniques contribute to the development of Mehring’s character.
To examine the role of time, perspective, and narrative structure in influencing the reader’s perception of character and plot.
To understand how Gordimer’s narrative style reflects themes of power, race, and moral ambiguity in apartheid South Africa.
4. Research Questions
How do Gordimer’s narratological techniques (point of view, time, and narrative fragmentation) contribute to the development of the protagonist, Mehring?
How do these techniques shape the reader’s understanding of Mehring’s internal and external conflicts?
In what ways does Gordimer use narrative structure to comment on the political and social realities of apartheid South Africa?
How does the interplay of narrative techniques help establish the moral ambiguity of the character and his relationships with others in the novel?
