    Is it the door through death what scares us? An analysis of the Cask of Amontillado between semiotics and narratology interface
    (Journal of Narrative and Language Studies, 2021) Büyükkarcı, Orhun
    Semiotics as a comprehensive branch seeks for meaning production process generated by the interrelations of signs, and therefore, may allow examining any discipline. One of those disciplines is literature. The significance of the present study is to draw attention to the analysis of formative structures of a narrative, using analysis tools of literary semiotics and narratology. Accordingly, examining both abstract and concrete fine details of a text, this study aims at investigating how the sense of horror was invoked by Edgar Allan Poe in one of his horror stories, “The Cask of Amontillado”. The methodology of the study, improved by French semiotician, Algirdas Julien Greimas, comprises the analysis of three semantic layers: the discursive, narrative and deep levels. Also, the tools of narratology have been utilized at the discursive level to examine the actors and time in the story, thereby making this an interdisciplinary study. In doing so, the pre-determined semiotic methodology has made it possible to obtain information both on the authorial techniques and the text itself. According to the findings gathered through a semio-narrative analysis, it can be suggested that transformations from beginning to the end of the story regarding characters, space and time have taken place from good to evil, life to death or bright to dark. This further highlights Edgar Allan Poe’s achievements in the creation of horror stories.

    A narratological analysis of O. Henry's "the ransom of red chief"
    (NALANS: Journal of Narrative and Language Studies, 2020) Büyükkarcı, Orhun; Kalelioğlu, Murat
    The studies within the frame of classical narratology have remarkably contributed to the field of narrative analysis. The significance of the present study is to raise awareness of constructive elements of a narrative using classical narrative analysis. This study aims at investigating character, time and space in O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief", using the narratological terminologies in the analysis. Considering the current situation of narratology as a method of analysis that involves many approaches towards a high number of aspects in a narrative, the study focuses on the essential constructive elements of the story and point of view. The employs the theoretical terminologies offered by classical narratologists. Findings in the study fall into two categories: Narration and narratorial position of the narrator, and formative elements of the story. These categories present three essential formative components, (a) Characters and characterization, (b) space, and (c) time. The data gathered from the findings indicated that O. Henry's achievement might lean on the prevalence of a reliable narrator using discourse time more for the narration of incidents between the characters than that of others in specific types of space with humoristic style as well as situational and verbal irony. This study allows for critical implications both on the readers who wish to understand O. Henry better and on the researchers calling for an increase in the number of narrative studies.
