English Abstract
The present study deals with Narrative Technique in the short stories of both Ernest Hemingway and Edgar Allan Poe.
Narrative technique means the analysis of the various elements of the story such as setting, character, point of view, mood or atmosphere, symbolism, style, theme, etc.
In other words it is the logical sequence of events presented to the readers in a way that enables the author to convey the themes, which are embodied within the literary work.
The literary achievements of both authors in the short story genre cannot be overemphasized.
They seek to present many social and moral issues concentrating on social criticism of people’s behavior when their environments are violated either by the savagery of civil war as in the case of Hemingway or by psychological states as in Poe.
The study consists of five chapters .The first one is an introduction which begins with an overview of the narrative technique and its types as well as the way in which Ernest Hemingway and Edger Allan Poe use their talent in short stories.
The second chapter is a review of literature that presents different studies, opinions and approaches that discuss the theoretical and empirical sides of the narrative technique of Ernest Hemingway and Edger Allan Poe.
Three shows the procedures and methods used by the researcher to present this study.
Chapter Four is the core of the study in that it gives a detailed analysis thematically and technically.
