Abstract
Narrative technique is of paramount importance in writing a novel. It may be defined as various styles used by the author to communicate the context of the novel in an interesting way. Flanagan has given profound significance to the aspects of human affectivity, especially during the overwhelming situations of life, in his novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North. The purpose of the article is to find out the components of psycho-narration in the novel. Psycho-narration is one of the narrative techniques where the third person narrator reports the consciousness of the characters. The article also explores the brilliance of the novelist, who has efficiently employed memory, flashbacks and interior monologues to propagate the thought process of the characters. The portrayal of the distinctive nature of the characters are analysed using Ben Jonson’s Comedy of Humours, since each character has peculiar personalities.
