How to understand the structural features of foreign novels?

Foreign novels consist of eight topics of knowledge: narrative, scene, theme, character, plot, structure, emotion and fiction.

(1) Delayed structure. The author tries his best to put obstacles to the story, characters, and psychological tension without making the reader feel that his hope is completely dashed, and in this hide-and-seek game, one ring follows the other to realize the structural tension of the novel. As in The Livestock Forest.

(2) A cross-section of life. Condense time and space into a small point, unfolding a long time and three-dimensional infinite space in a delicate structure. Such as Half a Sheet of Paper.

(3) A stream-of-consciousness structure that unfolds according to psychological chronology. It breaks the constant dimension of time and allows the consciousness of the characters to move around in the space beyond time. Such as The Spot on the Wall.
