초록

This study analyzed the narrative method employed in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ursula Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas in terms of Homo Narrans, which means human beings telling stories. Homo Narrans, named by John D. Niles, can be meant that only humans make and listen to stories. When the homo narrans delivers his or her story, the rhetoric of storytelling is very important. To do this, Shelley uses speech-like writing which is effective measures in expressing emotion and forming harmonious communion with others and Le Guin induces readers an ur-story to draw readers response. In Frankenstein each homo narrans uses his voice and gesture rather than logic and reason to keep telling his story. This way of writing in the form of speaking is very close to the feminine writing. Through this narrative structure, the desire of one homo narrans is transferred to that of the other in the different narration. On the other hand, Le Guin’s storytelling, based on an ur-story, uses more complex narrative structure by making a story with readers. Unlike the traditional form of writing novels, there is no distinction between narrators and readers. So it can help produce tons of stories if the narrators or readers so wish to. With this rhetoric Le Guin warns people against utilitarianism intentionally. Homo Narrans functions as a key role to deliver the topic of the stories. With homo narrans’ first-person narrations, the self-in- relations writing in the two novels arouse reader’s sympathy more easily than male dominated writing.

Abstract

This study analyzed the narrative method employed in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ursula Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas in terms of Homo Narrans, which means human beings telling stories. Homo Narrans, named by John D. Niles, can be meant that only humans make and listen to stories. When the homo narrans delivers his or her story, the rhetoric of storytelling is very important. To do this, Shelley uses speech-like writing which is effective measures in expressing emotion and forming harmonious communion with others and Le Guin induces readers an ur-story to draw readers response. In Frankenstein each homo narrans uses his voice and gesture rather than logic and reason to keep telling his story. This way of writing in the form of speaking is very close to the feminine writing. Through this narrative structure, the desire of one homo narrans is transferred to that of the other in the different narration. On the other hand, Le Guin’s storytelling, based on an ur-story, uses more complex narrative structure by making a story with readers. Unlike the traditional form of writing novels, there is no distinction between narrators and readers. So it can help produce tons of stories if the narrators or readers so wish to. With this rhetoric Le Guin warns people against utilitarianism intentionally. Homo Narrans functions as a key role to deliver the topic of the stories. With homo narrans’ first-person narrations, the self-in- relations writing in the two novels arouse reader’s sympathy more easily than male dominated writing.
