Abstract
The thesis tries to adopt the method used by Leech and Short in their book Style in Fiction to make a relatively overall and objective analysis of the novel’s language from the context category. From the context perspective, point of view and modes of speech presentation are used to produce special stylistic effects. In the category of point of view, the author makes use of both limited first-person witness perspective and shifts of narrative perspective -- the adoption of these narrative techniques is closely related to the theme of the novel. Modes of speech presentation in the novel, which involve Direct Speech, Indirect Speech, Free Indirect Speech and Free Direct Speech, serve to adjust distance or create stylistic effects the author aims to achieve.
