The Application of Narrative Techniques and Linguistic Tricks in the Novels Sayyid al-Qamar by Al-Harithi Squad and Autumn is the Last Season of the Year by Nasim Marashi from the Perspective of Fluid Flow of Mind

Stream of consciousness is considered to be a special kind of story telling in which the reader participates in the characters’ mental experience, while the writer contributes none. Jokha Alharthi and Nasim Marashi, in “Sydat alqamar” and “Paeez Fasle Akhare Sal Ast”, respectively, tried to target at weman’s concerns and problems in their societies, through the implementation of the technics provided by the stream of consciousness method. In this study, we aim to evaluate the application of this method and its level of success, in these two stories, via an analytic-descriptive method. We found that Alharthi has been more successful in such an implementation to reflect the characters’ mindsets. More spesifically, she applied the inner monologue technic through making use of the omniscient narrator capacity, in a more admirable way. She has provided ambiguities via the application of free association, frequent space-time jumps and changing the narrator’s point of view. Furthermore, her poetic language makes the story even more ambiguous. By contrast, Marashi has been less poetic in her language owing to the adoption of simple writing attitude. She takes the advantage of soliloquy to account for the feminine feelings, in comparison with Alharthi who has adopted such a method for more precious purposes to be fulfilled, such as weman’s right in traditional societies.
