Abstract EN
In current times, high fantasy writers have adopted different methods of storytelling that are attractive to contemporary audiences.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the narrative techniques that the American author, Patrick Rothfuss, uses in his successful fantasy novel, The Name of the Wind.
The paper examines how Rothfuss captures readers‟ curiosity by using techniques such as the Narrative Hook, which sets the scene for the rest of the story‟s progression.
Another feature Rothfuss uses is the Frame Story, or „Story within a story‟, that shapes the story‟s boundaries and explores the inner aspects within.
The other two techniques Rothfuss uses is the flashforward and the flashback technique ,with both of them illustrating the narrator‟s shift and changes in addressing the story itself.
Patrick Rothfuss‟s use of narrative techniques that engage the reader has created a well-rounded and successful high fantasy novel.
