![]() ![]() The elaboration of these elements then will be analyzed using defocalization as a narrative technique. These 5 elements include the irreducible element (magical events), the phenomenal world (realistic events), unsettling doubt (hesitation circumstances), merging realm (intersection of the world), and the disrupted time, space and identity (the strange phenomena that disrupt the normal time, space and identity). Thus, I analyze it using magical realism theory by Wendy B Faris who serves 5 elements to categorize the text is magical realism or not. In this case, I use magical realism because the merging of those realms as the important phenomena in the novel that becomes the main concept in magical realism analysis. The story highlights both phenomena which are emerged as supernatural realm and ordinary realm as the representation of the realms that has purpose to show the acceptance of the supernatural realm in the ordinary life. Magical phenomena in this story are presented through the depiction of Greek mythology whereas the reality is the realistic detail of the magical things. This study analyzes the phenomena of magical things and real things in the novel entitled Bone Gap by Laura Ruby. ![]()
