THE DEAD, by James Joyce
What narrative technique is used in the text?
Joyce uses a third person narrator, but also the dialogue.
Why does the writer make extensive use of the monologue?
Because the writer wants to focus on Gabriel's thoughts and not on the event
Does he use reported speech or direct speech and why?
He uses the direct speech, because he doesn't want to give personal judgement about events; so the reader could have a personal opinion.
