概要

In "free indirect discourse," we seem to hear two voices simultaneously: the character's on the one hand and the narrator's on the other. It sometimes is not easy for the readers to make an unambiguous attribution of what is said or thought to either the former or the latter. But, this is precisely the nature of "free indirect discourse," and the charm of it as well. At the end of Hemingway's "Big Two-Hearted River," Part II, we can find a sentence, "There were plenty of days coming when he could fish the swamp." In this short story, the narrator shares and supports the feelings of the main character, Nick, through the help of descriptive maneuvers. In this paper, I focus on the story's discourse, and try to give a narratological explication of the sentence, an instance of free indirect discourse.
