IDEOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW IN THE NOVEL “THE HELP” BY K. STOCKETT

Abstract

The article describes the basic theories that characterize the category of “point of view” and its synonymous concept of “narrative perspective”. The ideological point of view is investigated on the material of the modern American novel by Catherine Stokett “The Help”. The ideological point of view is revealed through the change of narrative situations. The description of the inner world of focal characters plays the significant role in the depicting of the ideological point of view. The internal and external points of view differ depending on the situation. The implementation of the ideological point of view occurs through not only speech, but also behavioral characteristics.
