Narrative techniques in Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison

5 Março 2018, 10:00 EDUARDA MELO CABRITA


Narrative techniques in Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison: 
starting in media res; 
using shared knowledge (Lindbeergh, geographical locations, etc) to focus on the story's main points (a journey of self discovery);
using language (fly, flight, wings; Doctor vs Not Doctor street/ Mercy vs No Mercy hospital, etc); 
anaphoric and cataphoric references
Discussing Morrison's foreword.
