Abstract

This article focuses on narrative technique in William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. The events are seen through the eyes of fifteen narrators and the novel consists of fifty-nine sections, each contains feelings, observations and thoughts of a character. In the face of such a complex situation, critics propose several readings, ranging from a traditional view to a more modern perspective. The aim of this paper is to represent the two conflicting views, in an attempt to find an appropriate method suitable to deal with the complex narrative structure of the novel.
