Abstract: Sir Thomas Wyatt, a sixteenth British poet, whose poetry has a strong personality, which can be seen from his poem “They Flee from Me”. The analysis from narratological perspective shows that the macrostructure of the happenings presented in the poem can be divided into three components: a past state, characterized by the iterative sequence of women coming close; a present state, in which the women no longer seek the presence of the speaker; and his reaction to this change of state. The autodiegetic speaker juxtaposes the past and present of what has happened around him and alternately narrates, thus expressing his feelings and showing the reason that they fled from him. This reason can be seen from Gavin Ewart’s parody of Wyatt’s “They flee from me”. Wyatt’s poetry carried out bold innovation on the basis of inheriting Petrarchan tradition.

Key words: transgeneric narratology, autodiegetic speaker, sequence structure, communication, parody
