摘要

In one of his short stories Gimpel the Fool,I.B.Singer renders a fool,Gimpel,who ultimately transforms himself into a sage.The narrative structure of the story contributes a lot to the characterization and the molding of the theme.This paper attempts to expound how Gimpel’s transformation,through the major conflicts in the story,is accomplished by analyzing the narrative methods used,i.e.interior monologue,direct speech as opposed to indirect speech.
