Abstract

The Sun Also Rises employs a dual narrative structure, wherein the character depictions and thematic implications in the convert progression subvert those in the overt plot. Applying the framework of dual narrative progression theory, an analysis of the contrasting plots and characters in these two narrative strands reveals that the novel conveys distinct themes. Beyond the explicit themes of nihilism and hedonism, a latent progression emerges, portraying a positive thematic essence through the favorable portrayal of the main characters.
