This book is all about "mediacy"—basically, the voice of a narrator standing between the reader and the events described. Stanzel defines various types and levels of mediacy, and concludes that there are three main narrative situations: first person (when the narrator's world is the same as that of the characters'), authorial (when the narrator comments from the outside), and figural (when it seems as if there's no narrator and we're given direct access to the thoughts and impressions of a character within the text).
What, in Stanzel's view, is the main characteristic that separates narration from other types of literary art?
What is the difference between "dynamization" and "schematization"?
