Faulkner's narrators occupy an unusual place in Absalom, Absalom! They perform at once the obvious function of relating the events of the story and the less obvious function of shaping the reader's perception of that story through their own participation in, and conception of, events. Particularly, the narrative technique in Absalom, Absalom! furthers a sense of inevitability within the novel by using as narrators people who were removed from the events they describe either by time or distance or both, and by allowing those narrators to deliver their information as a jumbled mass of interconnected, but not clearly linear, events. We must examine our response to the novel in terms of the ways in which we are drawn into the narrative. The narrative technique at work in Absalom, Absalom! which serves to draw us into the novel also serves to ally us with the narrators, particularly Quentin.
Abstract
Faulkner's narrators occupy an unusual place in Absalom, Absalom! They perform at once the obvious function of relating the events of the story and the less obvious function of shaping the reader's perception of that story through their own participation in, and conception of, events. Particularly, the narrative technique in Absalom, Absalom! furthers a sense of inevitability within the novel by using as narrators people who were removed from the events they describe either by time or distance or both, and by allowing those narrators to deliver their information as a jumbled mass of interconnected, but not clearly linear, events. We must examine our response to the novel in terms of the ways in which we are drawn into the narrative. The narrative technique at work in Absalom, Absalom! which serves to draw us into the novel also serves to ally us with the narrators, particularly Quentin.
