Abstract

Ian McEwan, Atonement, paratext, narrative theme, narrative structure Abstract: The theory of paratext proposed by G,rard Genette integrates internal and external research and provides a valuable theoretical perspective and research paradigm for the study of novels. Ian McEwan's novel Atonement is interspersed with a variety of paratexts inclusive of title, title page and intertitles. They greatly facilitate the "presentation" of narrative structure, narrative theme and narrative technique in the text, and can be regarded a medium for the exchange between the author and the reader.
