Weaving Personal Threads : A Functionalist Perspective On Translating 'the Great Gatsby'



Authors : Amirat Omar .

Abstract

Autobiographical elements often weave their way into fictional narratives, adding depth and authenticity to the storytelling. Translating these autobiographical nuances poses unique challenges, requiring translators to navigate the delicate balance between preserving the author's intent and adapting the text for a new audience. This article delves into the complexities of translating autobiography, employing F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, "The Great Gatsby," as a case study. By examining Fitzgerald's autobiographical traces within the novel and exploring various translation approaches, the article demonstrates how the functionalist theory of translation can guide effective rendering of autobiographical elements.
