Structural Analysis of Narrative

Summary/Abstract: The subject I propose to address is so broad that the following few pages will inevitably take the form of a summary. Moreover, my title contains the word “structural”, which today is more misleading than illuminating. To avoid misunderstandings as much as possible, I will proceed as follows. First, I will give an abstract definition of what I consider to be the structural approach to literature. This approach will then be illustrated by a concrete problem, the narrative, and more specifically the plot problem. Examples would be taken from Boccacio's Decameron. Finally, I will try to draw some general conclusions about the nature of narrative and the principles of its analysis.
