Abstract:
Focalization is like a prism through which the events and existents of the story’s fictional world are seen. As a literary term, Gerard Genette first used it in order to differentiate between "narrative mood" and "narrative voice". These two concepts respectively deal with these questions: "who sees?" and "who speaks?". When we read, we hear the narrator's voice; he is able to report what he himself sees and what the characters see. Assuming the transposition of another agent's perceptions in the narrator's report is what creates differences and divergences between various points of view. Moreover, the introduction of this term justifies the polyphonic nature of narrative since it deals with the various perspectives feeding the narrative.
Keywords: KeyWords:Focalization, Narration, Genette's Typology of Focalization, Types of Focalization, Facets of Focalization
