Abstract

With the help of relevant theories and methods of spatial narratology, this paper discusses Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” from three aspects: geographical space, realistic space and psychological space. With the help of the narrative mode of stream of consciousness, the novel breaks through the space-time boundary between reality and fantasy and constructs multiple narrative spaces. The writer uses image juxtaposition to present geographical space and scene dialogue to present real space, and reproduce mental space through memory and fantasy, which expands the capacity of the novel within a limited space and makes the work a literary classic.
