Narrativity in Little Prince and Transformations that Provide Narrativity
Journal Title: Söylem Filoloji Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
It is narrativity that turns a text to a story. On the basis of narrativity based on the difference in meaning in the text, the characters go from one state to another, that is to say, "transformation". In this paper, we will try to show how the characters we encountered in the Little Prince, one of the most read and beautiful works of world literature, transform and how these transformations constitute the narrativity. Is there any change in the properties of the characters that make them become "themselves". Are the snakes and foxes known to be "evil" in today's world bad from the viewpoint of a child? What kind of identity will they have through the "transformation" in the text? Thanks to the child's point of view, what kind of identity will they have through the "transformation" in the text? When we think of Greimas’ roles chart, are the snake and the fox assistants or obstacles to the Little Prince? Is there a transformation that the pilot has experienced? What role does the "flower", which is a reason for leaving the Little Prince's planet, play? In this paper, we will try to reveal the features that make the Little Prince so readable, with these and similar questions.
