Abstract

 

The article analyses the structure of the internal monologue in Czech literature of the second half of the 19th century. Taking the writing of Lubomír Doležel as the theoretical framework, the author traces and examines the development and the evolution of different forms of an internal monologue, paying particular attention to the role it plays in the construction of the text’s narrative form and the very figure of the narrator. The main intention of the article is to illustrate the complex process of change, whereby the reported monologue came to replace psycho-narration, and to explain the significance of that shift in terms of the roles that monologue plays in character, plot and world construction within the microcosm of the text.
