    In the case of Passport to hell there is no doubt in who the narrator is as it is autobiographical although seen through the lens of a female author who invents things to form to her vision of the book and the tendency to flatter oneself the text is generally factual. This doubt in the narrator is seen most clearly in Living in the Maniototo the narrator Mavis Halleton, Barwell, Furness, Alice Thumb and Viloet Pansy Proudlock to name the most prominent narrative figures split the narrative up…

    J.D. Salinger’s Attempt to Find Something to Love in Squalor The instances of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) found with J.D. Salinger’s short story, For Esme — with Love and Squalor, are immediately definable for a contemporary reader. Doctor Matthew Friedman of U.S. Veteran Affairs notes that it wasn’t until 1980 that PTSD was even a diagnosable disorder. It is fascinating to realize that Salinger most likely was writing about his own experiences in For Esme — with Love and Squalor, as…

    naturally judgmental. Many who analyze popular works of fiction, such as The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, fail to notice the narrator of the story as a character to be analyzed like any other; the narrator, Nick Caraway, despite his claims of honesty and objectivity within the first couple pages of the novel, should be questioned on his reliability as the narrator of the novel. Only by understanding the character that acts as a lens through which we see every other person of perhaps more…

    Bakhtin considered Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot one of the vivid manifestations of carnivalisation in literature, where such elements of carnival culture as ambivalence of the situations and events, fantastic and bizarre mixture of people in one place, and the notion of carnival reduced laughter begin shaping literary work through its mode of narration, structure and characters. I would like to focus on the way laughter is incorporated into the narration of The Idiot and on what functionality it is…

    trusted the most with an accurate portrayal of events and depiction of other characters. Darl appears – in his own voice – to be an observant, rational and highly thoughtful man, who I first considered to be the novel’s main protagonist and reliable narrator. Through the voices of others, Darl seemed omnipresent, as if he already knew everything that had happened and would happen. One example of this is in section seven, where Dewey Dell explains Darl’s obscure way of informing…

    relate to the thesis “Finally she smiled and he sung middle C, pit his guitar under his arm and walked on back to where she was”. This relates to the thesis like the other two pieces of evidence and that is because it is being told by a 3rd person narrator, but it is describing what Janie herself is seeing and is doing from her perspective. On page 103 of chapter 11 there is another scene in the book that is being told in a 3rd person narration, but is also describing to the reader what Janie is…

    Insanity and Narration: an Analysis of Darl Bundren As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner is told from the perspectives of fifteen different characters. Some have just one monologue. Others have several. The lengths all vary from five words to several pages. However, it is still plain to see which character is at the center of the novel. Although the story revolves around the death and burial of Addie Bundren, it is her second son, Darl Bundren, who holds the strongest spotlight. Of the…

    When looking at the works of Edgar Allan Poe in a compare and contrast format against those of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the most important item to discuss is the differences and similarities of the characters. The characters of these authors are vital in the storytelling that their creators use; from the narration styles and point of views, to the importance of the characters throughout the plot. But most importantly, the views that readers can assume the authors have on matters of life, such as…

    and also a different narration perspective. This changes the story incredulously. It sheds a whole new light on the caveman population, giving them more sentience than we had been given by the narrator. Kim’s boyfriend, the narrator, only gives us the information of what he knows about. It’s a reliable narrator in that he isn’t lying to the audience, but he is just a regular human being. He’s not omniscient and sometimes his opinions (or lack of information) could alter the truth of what he’s…
