Monologue is one of the most crucial narrative devices stressed by storytellers in the early 20th century. James Joyce, Georgina Woolf, and Marcel Proust all incorporated this method into their novels and stories. This technique has been applied in several stories all around the world to disclose the characters' innermost thoughts. This strategy has also caught the attention of Sherzad Hassan. This academic study discusses this approach, and the researchers use Sherzad Hassan's collection of short stories (Loneliness) to illustrate the several varieties of this technique. Finally, this scientific study concluded that there are direct and indirect monologues in his collection of stories, but no self-talk is used.

Abstract

Monologue is one of the most crucial narrative devices stressed by storytellers in the early 20th century. James Joyce, Georgina Woolf, and Marcel Proust all incorporated this method into their novels and stories. This technique has been applied in several stories all around the world to disclose the characters' innermost thoughts. This strategy has also caught the attention of Sherzad Hassan. This academic study discusses this approach, and the researchers use Sherzad Hassan's collection of short stories (Loneliness) to illustrate the several varieties of this technique. Finally, this scientific study concluded that there are direct and indirect monologues in his collection of stories, but no self-talk is used.
