traditional detective novels%metaphysical detective novels%parody%difference
The emergence of metaphysical detective novels changed the situation that traditional detective novels are often criticized as vulgar literature for its escaping from reality and its purpose of recreation and stimulus. Jorge Luis Borges is one of the forerunners of metaphysical detective fiction. Especially, some of his short novels become the classics of metaphysical detective novels. In this thesis, I will try to analyze the parody of one of Jorge Luis Borges’ representative metaphysical detective novels -“Death and the Compass” to see the main differences between metaphysical detective novels and traditional detective novels. This thesis is divided into three parts. Chapter one gives brief introduction about traditional detective novels. Chapter two discusses the parody in this novel. And chapter three comes to the conclusion which gives the reason for this change.
