Can  anyone provided some choice examples from BH narrative of ambiguous
pronominal reference? I am looking for a story where there are two or more
participants and there is at least a potential confusion about who is doing
or saying what to whom?

I am exploring the relationship between pronominal reference and agency in
narrative. The idea is that pronominal reference is tied to agent/patient
roles and only when the agent changes is a full noun phrase required to
disambiguate reference.

I would help a lot if I could have some choice problem passages to look at.

thank you,
Clay Bartholomew
