Summary of Thesis Results: With the topic "Structure in Haruki Murakami's Novels," we gain a better understanding of postmodern literature in general, as well as the structure of postmodern novels in particular; providing many new insights into the artistic problem – "Murakami's appeal." With a fragmented and open-ended plot structure that allows readers to co-create, Murakami has transformed his stories into "stories of everyday life." Readers find themselves reflected in these stories. He has breathed new life into the purely Japanese literary landscape that is on the path to recovery. In terms of character structure, the author deeply reflects the repressed (unconscious) aspects of human beings. The imagery in his works seems to be a place where people struggle desperately to find the true meaning of life. The labyrinthine and timeless spatial organization seamlessly connects surreal stories, flashbacks, and fragmented lives into a unified whole. In short, through its structure, the artistic values and skill of the writer's pen, representing "the literary stature of the 21st century," are clearly demonstrated. It is hoped that this structural theme will provide a new direction for exploring the still-untapped artistic landscape of Haruki Murakami. 11. Practical applications (if any): 12.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: With the thesis The structures in Haruki Murakami's novels, we get better knowledge of the post - modern – age literature in general, and the structures of modern novels in particular; resulting in plenty of understanding about the art questions named “Murakami's attraction”. With the structures of the split, open - ended stories, the novels give land to the readers to co - cultivate their creativeness. Murakami turns his own stories into “daily life's stories”, where the readers find themselves. He brings fresh air to the purely - Japanese literature, which is on the way of recovery. In terms of the organizing of the characters, the author goes deep inside human's hidden aspects (unconsciousness). The paintings in his novels seem to be the place where man struggles in vain to find out what a real life means. In addition, the organizing of maze-like and timeless space connects super-realistic stories, retrospect, and patched lives etc, resulting in an unified entity. In summary, the artistic values and talent of the writer recognized as “shape of the 21st century literature” are clearly shown by the structures of his novels. It is hoped that the issue of “structure” will bring about a new approach to the art field by Haruki Murakami, which is expected to be discovered further. 12. Practical applicability: 13.
