In Malavoglia vienerappresentata only the struggle for material needs but altriromanzi cycle would have to assume gradually Tallest tones.

NARRATOR
E'onnisciente so she knows all the facts and often anticipates comenel case of death of young Luke. DelVerga the intent of the novel had to be a "sincere and study passionate "about a community of Sicilian fishermen, then speaking in terzapersona and is external to each other, because we do not have personal alcunintervento by the author in the narrative, not ever SIFA spokesman for the thoughts of the characters, but lets parlareliberamente. Appare come un narratore popolare che condivide il mododi comportarsi, i pregiudizi, la mentalità, la cultura delmondo di cui parla.
STILEE LINGUAGGIO
Ilromanzo crea l’illusione che a parlare sia il mondo raccontato.Verga applica la formula verista, filtra il racconto attraverso ipensieri e i discorsi dei personaggi; questa è definita latecnica del “discorso rivissuto” che dà come conseguenzaun effetto di vivacità. Viene impiegato un registro informale,popolare tipico della popolazione di Aci Trezza che consiste nell’usodi espressioni dialettali, ripetizioni, proverbi, similitudinipopolari, sayings such as "it seemed there were cattle met the festival of San Alfie, "" looked like a hen when staper to the egg, it seemed we had the devil in their sails "eperiodi short; ilfatto that popular culture is demonstrated by the chef made references to animals 'breeding, the devil comespauracchio collective, with the country with its time and place diritrovo. So we have a regression to the author livelloculturale and expressive of the narrator and characters. Nellasintassi dominate the direct and indirect free speech. Iltempo has an order isochronous: the actions of those scorronoparallele fabula dell'intreccio (F=I). Per quanto riguarda ladurata, visto che in tutto il romanzo prevalgono i dialoghi, èpresente la scena, dove il tempo della storia corrisponde al tempodel discorso (T.S.=T.D.); sono però presenti anche diversedescrizioni (T.S.=O).
