Narratemes in Agatha Christie’s Poirot Novels. In this paper, Agatha Christie’s selected Poirot novels are examined for recurring narratemes, limited, for the purposes of this research, to actions and results of actions as important constituents of the plot. As point of departure, Propp’s narratemes, structural elements of Russian folktales are referred to. Then, ten recurrent narratemes are identified in twenty-two Poirot novels and their functionality is established. The need of further research on this topic is articulated. It is likely that more narratemes be recognised and localised and thus they broaden our knowledge about the componential aspects of Christie’s work.
REZUMAT. Naratemele din romanele Poirot ale Agathei Christie. În această lucrare sunt analizate câteva dintre romanele Poirot ale Agathei Christie pentru a afla naratemele recurente, mai ales cele care sunt acţiuni şi rezultatele unor acţiuni şi care devin, astfel, elemente constitutive ale conflictului. Se porneşte de la naratemele lui Propp, elemente structurale ale basmelor ruseşti. Apoi, cele zece narateme recurente sunt identificate în douăzeci şi două de romane Poirot şi se stabileşte funcţionalitatea lor. Se precizează că mai e nevoie de cercetarea acestui aspect. E probabil că mai multe narateme să fie recunoscute şi localizate şi astfel, cunoştinţele noastre despre aspecte componenţiale ale operei lui Christie să devină mai ample.
Cuvinte-cheie: Agatha Christie, Poirot, roman poliţist, naratem, conflict, suspans
