This paper aimed to use post-classical narrative theories putting the revolutionary novels in the specific history context to analyze the forms of the novel, to check the narrator's narrative strategies, it discusses the dynamic relationship of the text, the narrate process and the reader in three angles:narrative angle, narrative power and reading ethics. Thanks to all those, it discloses the influences of using narrative strategy to rhetoric effectiveness.The article is divided into four parts. The first chapter is quotation, which describes the social and historical background of the novels and reveals the historic mission that the historical context provides to novella. What's more, it has a brief introduction to the situation of studying revolution novels in 20s and the development of postclassical narratology since 1920s.The second chapter discusses the relationship between the applications of narrative angle and the narrative reliability in revolutionary novels, and its impact on rhetorical purpose. This article distinguishes the types of revolutionary novels'narrative angle, taking World of Our Own, Young Rover, and the Story of Arrow for example. And it also analyses the status quo between narrative angle and narrative reliability, as well as the status quo between narrative angle and rhetoric.The third chapter analyzes it from the internal and external motivation of narrative, with the help of French structuralism narrative theorist Bremond's logical theory and American rhetorical narrative theorist James Phelan's theory. It not only studies the relationship of narrative motivation, narrative process and rhetoric effects but also analyses several novels specifically, such as, The Black Whirlwind, To Moscow, The Moon Breaking Clouds, Roaring Land, Wei Hu, Bullet and Marching Bird and so on.The forth Chapter explores the influence on readers from the character's ethics situation, narrator's ethics situation, implied author's ethic direction. On this basis, the writer discloses the degree of realization of the revolutionary writing effect. The essay takes Irritation,Roaring land as examples to analyze the different influence of the readers brought by the narration, and the meaning of the narrator himself. It itself is a kind of ethic behavior that discovering the collaboration between character's ethic situation, narrator and implied writer can arouse readers joviality of agreement. If the narrator can't neutralize the character's embarrassment, it will worry the readers. the narration will change into cruel behavior. And readers' reaction play an important role in production helping to deconstruct the meaning. Last, the rhetoric comes to a failure.
