AB This dissertation carries out a narratological analysis of the metanarrative frame in William Goldman’s novel The Princess Bride (1973). Once concepts like “metanarrative” and “metafictional” literature are defined and differentiated, and also “frame story,” narrative structure, and diegetic levels, the analysis addresses Morgenstern and Goldman as a fictional narrator and a literary persona of the author respectively. Their dynamics invoke aspects reminiscent of Roland Barthes’ death of the author. All these narratological features of the novel are then compared to those in its film adaptation, whose narrative structure and narrator go through significant changes in the transposition.
