Narrative gaps refer to the phenomenon that certain meanings in narrative works are not conveyed or are not clearly conveyed in the text. It is a very common and important narrative communication phenomenon. Omissions in novels make the meaning of the text "hidden and more obvious"; silence in dramas makes the audience feel greater shock; empty shots in movies make the audience linger for a long time... So far, no one has conducted in-depth research on this from the perspective of narratology. This book attempts to conduct a comprehensive and systematic study on the four aspects of the cause, expression, filling and value of narrative gaps from the perspective of broad narratology, using theoretical interpretation and text analysis.
