As I Lay Dying: Formalist Perspective

The topic that I will be pursuing for my analysis is Formalist Perspective. This is the point of view of every character in the novel. Some advantages for point of view from characters are being able to get everyone’s side of the situation that has occurred. Getting these details will allow you to know exactly what is going on instead of just getting half of the story. You can also see what is happening from the characters eyes and go through and live the life that the character has lived, basically stepping into someone else’s shoes. The only disadvantage I can say are books with just one point of view. You do not have anyone else’s perspective so you are stuck with just believing this character. Fortunately “As I Lay Dying” is not like this
