Telling Means More Than Talk: Faulkner''''s Experiment in Multi-angle Narration

William Faulkner made great achievements in his art of narration,which lie chiefly in two aspects.Firstly he experimented with integrating two narrative points of view and employ manifold and multiple narration to tap the greatest narrative potential of a narrative points of view so as to bring its function into full play.Secondly,he employs child's eye view and idiot's eye view to achieve a special narrative effect.His innovation and experiment enhance the expressiveness of various narrative techniques,and more truly represent reality and probe more deeply into the inner world and soul of the characters thus deepening the themes of the works.
