In the novel „Burden of our Goodness” as well as in his entire creation, Ion Druţă uses essentially only one narrative type, namely the auctorial heterodiegetic one which is typical to the traditional novel. According to the conventions of this type the narrator, an omniscient ego, very often monopolizes the perspective, meaning that he maintains an absolute or quasiabsolute control over the narration’s unfolding and over the waiting system of the reader. It is known that monopolization of the narrative perspective is a literary strategy which being overused in time for the commodity of its use had real risks to be clichéd. But Ion Druţă, creatively exploring it, manages to overpass such risks getting a relevant particularity of it. This happens due to his mastery to build a complex narrative ego who spectacularly develops his otherness and at the same time individualizes himself both through his discourse marked by the indirect style, free colloquial formula, and his lyrical visions, more often mythical symbolic, which being assimilated to the perspective gives it a special expressivity. The strategy of monopolization gives to Druţă’s narrator the possibility to move freely in the diegetic world, to intervene fancily in the structure and syntax of the imaginary, and to achieve original associative games. His points of view which are detached, on one hand, from his frequent reflections and, on the other hand, from the logic of the imaginary produced by him reveal the epistemic dimension in system with the points of view of the main actors (Onache, Haralambie, Mircea).
