A stylistic approach to the unified sides of stream of consciousness and interior monologue in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! and Irwin Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl”

Abstract EN

The present research is a stylistic attempt to study the unified sides of stream of consciousness and interior monologue in selected extracts from Faulkner's and Ginsberg‘s: Absalom, Absalom! and “Howl‖.

Its relevance is to the sophisticated techniques that help unify the two sides in the works.

These techniques are linguistic techniques, narrative techniques and metaleptic ones.

The purpose of this study is to analyze them in Faulkner's and Ginsberg‘s Absalom, Absalom and “Howl‖.

The problematic case of the two aforementioned works lies in the reader‘s involvement in resolving their ambiguity.

Their rigorous style drives the reader into an involvement in understanding its ambiguity.

Hence, the significance of the study lies in its being the first attempt at analysing this problematic style.

The study concludes that the three techniques point out the hidden dark side of the American life through the employment of ambiguous problematic style
