Abstract： While F·K·Stanzel first advanced the concept of narrative situation,Luo Gang modified the connotation of this term.According to Luo Gang,narrative situation combines the traditional concepts of person and point of view.Thomas Hardy applied various narrative situations to his narration,which includes the editorial omniscient narration,the neutral omniscient narration,the figural narration,and in some part the overlapping narrative situation,thus creating a variety of stylistic effects and enhancing the tragic power of the novels.
