| Abstract In modern literature the concept of time plays an important role in the process of narration. Modern writers look at time as a domain through which they can go forward or backward. The past and the present are overlapped. In this sense, the present is continuum to the past which can be revealed during narrating the events of the present. Faulkner deals with the concept of time in a special way. This paper tries to shed light upon his use of time in one of his famous stories. "A Rose for Emily" reveals Faulkner's ability in dealing with time in a modern way at its peak. In this story he seems a master of this art: the art of narrating the past by stepping out of the present. However, this is done smoothly without breaking the reader's sense of the flow of the events. | ||
