The trauma of the second world war is indelible.After the war,people reflect on the war and the status quo of human existence.As experience and from German writer who survived world war ii in terms of glass,he not only experienced the cruelty of war and the ferocity of fascism,but also deeply realize that the nation in world war ii Germany has accumulated too much guilt,and the guilt of passed down from one generation to another.Because of that the blame of deep reflection,the eye of sargeras always aimed at the existing situation of Germany and the German people in the war,and the German people's heart and soul in the war trauma.Therefore,various in glass works will start by alienation has the characteristics of animal characters and the animals with human characteristics of the image,this a series of image building glass' s alienation "animal world".The novel of grass is magical and absurd,full of ambiguity and richness.In his novel,glass is full of fantastic people and animal figures.Why does this image appear in glass' s work? What does glass want to do with this narrative? What is the special message behind these people and animal images? And what aesthetic effect does this feature have on the novels of grass? I think that the inversion of the traditional relationship between man and animals,depiction of human and animal image is novel,the war under the group alienation,the deformity society under the fascist world,are the basis of the fable narrative narrative construction.Glass has been searching for a narrative method that can restore the original face of history,using the function of imagination,the narrative method of fairy tales.With fairy tale narrative principles are of the real use of imagination,he tries to imagine creating more real than the physical reality,these narratives are has the same effect with the fable narrative.In glass for most of the works,he is clever use of fable narrative narrative techniques,through the rational logic in daily life,and makes a through time and space,across the history and reality,and the combination of reality and fantasy,in the prosaic reality the impossible possible."Animal world" of glass in the novel writing and expression,can be used as a breakthrough point,glass research the fable narrative artistic features and aesthetic effect,in order to reach to the glass literature new understanding and thinking.In this paper,we will analyze the animal world in the allegorical narration of gunter grass,and demonstrate the argument from the following three aspects.Under the first part is the fable narrative character,mainly from the alienation of characters in the novel image and animal research as the key point,discusses the war brings to the human spirit and the trauma of the mind.The second part is the fable narrative "animal world" under construction,around the content,language,structure,the authors explore how to use the language of narrative narrative techniques such as construction of its author's a complete "animal world".The third part is the fable narrative aesthetic effect,discusses the fable narrative techniques bring glass works under the style of magic realism,and the narrative method of work brought by the aesthetic effects of alienation contains profound moral thinking,which in contrast,social reality,historical reflection.
