Abstract

through my study of the short story collection ""Nuqta ilaal-Jaheem"" (A Point to Hell) bySaid Boutajine, I aimed to uncover the narrative components by analyzing both the narratorand the narratee, as well as the techniques employed in constructing the collection—such aslanguage use, pronouns, dialogue, anddescription. My research followed a structuredapproach consisting of the following sections: Introduction:This section was dedicated to defining key concepts and literary terms,particularly the notion of the short story, its definition, and its development within theAlgerian literary context. Chapter One:Focused on analyzing the roles of the narrator and the narratee in the stories thatmake up the collection. Chapter Two:Examined the thematic content of the stories and the narrative techniquesutilizedin their construction, including language, dialogue, description, and pronoun usage.The study concluded with a final chapter summarizing the most significant findings, amongwhich: The functions of the narrator varied across the texts, allowing the creation of multipleperspectives and resulting in a polyphonic narrative voice. The author's use of irony and symbolism positioned the narrated content in the selected storiesas a metaphorical alarm bell, reflecting the brutality of lived reality between the ruler, hisinner circle, and the people. The author relied heavily on various narrative techniques, particularly description anddialogue. He carefully depicted the characters and documented the exchanges between them,which contributed to the coherence ofthe narrative events and fostered a sense of dynamicinteraction within the text.
