IL DISCORSO INDIRETTO LIBERO DA CHARLES BALLY A GIULIO HERCZEG
Free indirect speech from Charles Bally to Giulio

Summary/Abstract: Before discussing discourse or free indirect style, it is absolutely necessary to review those who discovered this method and wrote about it. We shall try to underline the importance of using this method in literature, because thanks to this style we succeed in penetrating into the darkest recesses of the characters’ mind. As many of the analyzed researchers specify (from Charles Bally to Giulio Herczeg who is vehemently contradicted by Pier Paolo Pasolini), it is difficult to make an exact delimitation between the character’s subjective prospective and the narrator’s objective one.
