Diverse approaches within linguistic-stylistic analysis clarify that the emotions at various text levels are conveyed appropriately in terms of this novel's narrative. This paper focuses on the emotions in the text with regard to the female character Klementine. Based on her speech profile, it can be demonstrated that she deliberately employs all the different aspects of both explicit and implicit conveyance of emotions. From the linguistic-stylistic viewpoint, it is manifest that with respect to her environment, the emotions surrounding this figure include a racial element. The analysis shows that the author is an outstanding narrator capable of creating suspense and depicting emotionally detailed situations. However, the expectations of the reader may not have been completely met.
After studying the way in which various modern interpretations (political, psychoanalytic, traumatological) of Homer analyze the emotions aroused and/or conveyed by the song of the sirens, we will look at the "self-reflexive" interpretation that Maurice Blanchot ("Le Livre à venir", 1959) proposes of "Odyssey's" "Song XII". We will see that this interpretation can provide an excellent reading grid for modern rewritings of the episode, which overinvest one of the emotional aspects of the sirens' song - that is, the emotion of the language that goes out of itself in order to become music (in Joyce - "Ulysses", 1918-1920) or silence (in Kafka - "Das Schweigen der Sirenen", 1917).
