Ienciu Adriana: As I lay dying is a cynical novel, and it's written in a series of stream of consciousness monologue , in which the characters thoughts are present in a chaotic way , with no objective narrator what so ever. There are no flowing events, just ideas, memories, images, that are jumping form one to another.Because of this, the reader has difficulty in understanding the text. It is also typical for these characters to have a a poor grammar, no logical fluency of ideas, and also poor vocabulary. The characters also associate their beloved or close relatives with animals. For example:
dead mother- a caught fish
pregnant women- a cow
horse- sign for well deserved freedom after years and years of hardship
