Analyzing the narrative structure of texts greatly aids in understanding the various layers of the text. The two key elements of the narrator and the listener in the novel can enhance the comprehension of the characters and the truthfulness of narrative propositions. Authors of war novels and stories strive to depict the events of war in a manner that is more comprehensible for the audience.
Consequently, examining the narrator and their tone, along with the focalization of the narrative, provides a clearer depiction of the combatants and other characters, and can lead to an understanding of the author's perspective on this issue. This article investigates the concepts of tone and mood in The Pol-e Mo’allaq Novel (The Suspension Bridge).
From the narrator's perspective, "The Suspended Bridge" features an omniscient narrator who, with knowledge of all times and places, recounts the story and its characters, being the sole entity through which the narrative's knots are resolved. The narrator in this novel aims to convey what aligns with the author's views. Given the nature of the narrative, we encounter a monophonic text that solely reflects the viewpoints of the author/narrator, with no presence of diverse thoughts within the text. From an ideological standpoint, at the end of the story, we witness a shift in the main character's mindset from death to life. This transformation is prompted by love, a theme that resonates throughout the novel and does not contribute to the creation of a polyphonic texture in the text.
