The indirectly argumentation in Life: a User's Manual

The importance of the question of argumentation in narrative texts is greater than the argumentation, which is approached with using the concept of point of view there. We know very well that the point of view often acts in an implicit manner, which is reported with the manner of the text argumentation. So, these two phenomena are closely linked. Contrary to other types of texts (philosophical, moral, etc), the narrative text argues indirectly, because adopting an «attitude of slack phrase» (Weinrich), the appeal in definite and direct rational techniques can shock the reader. So, the narrator tries hard to hide his opinions and his judgments behind the narration, to give the impression, which all the reader reads is objective and neutral. Life: a User's Manual (La Vie mode demploi) give us countless examples of this narratoriale and even attitude sometimes actorielle (relating to the figures). By an example chosen by: “Life: a User's Manual”, we shall see how a figure tries to hide his arguments, by a strategy with numerous facets.
