Moć perspektive u serijalu Raven

Beginning with the discussion of the terms narration and narrative, the paper asserts the difference between point of view, which is defined as “who” tells a story, and perspective, which shows “how” a narrator / a character perceives the events making up the story. To show the power of perspective in a literary work, the paper focuses on the young adult novel series The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. The five main characters – Blue Sargent, Richard Gansey III, Adam Parrish, Ronan Lynch, and Noah Czerny – have been given unique perspectives that are unveiled through their separate character arcs. Blue’s perspective is clad with assumptions; Gansey’s is a clash between the perceived and the perceiving; Adam’s comes to light only when compared to other characters’ perspectives; Ronan’s is postponed and contrary to expectations; Noah’s is absent until the very end of the series.Nakon uvodnih zapažanja o pripovijedanju (engl. narration) i pripovjednom tekstu (engl. narrative), rad pojašnjava razliku između gledišta (engl. point of view), kojim se definira „tko” pripovijeda priču, i stajališta (engl. perspective), koje pokazuje „kako” pripovjedač/lik poima događaje koji čine priču. Da bi pokazao moć perspektive u književnom djelu, rad analizira serijal romana za mlade The Raven Cycle Maggie Stiefvater. Pet glavnih likova serijala – Blue Sargent, Richard Gansey III, Adam Parrish, Ronan Lynch i Noah Czerny – posjeduje jedinstvena stajališta koja se postupno otkrivaju tijekom serijala. Blueino je stajalište utemeljeno na pretpostavkama; Ganseyjevo na sukobu između shvaćenog i shvaćanja; Adamovo postaje vidljivo jedino u usporedbi sa stajalištima drugih likova; Ronanovo je odgođeno i suprotno očekivanjima; Noahino je neprisutno do samog kraja ciklusa
