I think the author chose this narrative structure to slowly bring the reader into the mindset of the character. At the beginning of the story the reader is led to believe that all is good in the life of Neddy Merrill, but as the story progresses there is a slow realization that something is off with his life. By the end of the story the expected ending confirms what has slowly been revealed throughout the story. With this structure the reader is slowly brought into the reality of the unfortunate life of Merrill.
