Multiple narrators in the modernist novel

The narrator is the one who holds the threads of the storytelling process, and expresses the writer’s point of view, his opinion and perception different from the other; To give great richness to the work, through the dialogue and internal monologue of the characters, so the narrator is the character who has his own characteristics. For the writer to use it to present his point of view and opinions،Every character in a literary work has its own independent entity whose presence is highlighted in order to give the work of fiction its strength. The writer raises several political, social, or cultural issues through narrators, to express their point of view and present their ideas, either through an absent, participating, or multiple narrator. We will discuss this in the study. The last type is the multiple narrator. For example, the novel (The War in Baramsr) by the writer Youssef Al-Qaid. The novel consists of six narrators: the mayor, the undertaker, the ghafir, the friend, the officer, and the investigator. The events revolve around the martyrdom of an Egyptian in the 1973 war instead of the mayor’s son.Each narrator narrates the events from his point of view, according to what each person sees individually. Rather, each character adds new dimensions to this situation that the other characters may not know. The writer uses the first person pronoun during the narration, to highlight the speaker’s stream of consciousness.
