Why the In grove by Ryunosuke Akutagawa have a linear of story?

"In a Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa does not have a linear story structure. It is a non-linear or Rashomon-style narrative where multiple characters provide their conflicting accounts of the same incident, leading to different interpretations of the truth. The story presents various viewpoints and perspectives, with each character's testimony revealing different aspects and motivations behind the murder in the woods. This non-linearity challenges the conventional notions of a straightforward plotline and emphasizes the complexity and subjectivity of human perception.
