Narratology

The story I chose for the movie is “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver. It’s a very interesting and simple story that change the perspective of a narrator of how he can see beyond the surface, and the inner self. The writer uses a first-person narrator to emphasize the hidden aspects of the story that are beyond human experience which the narrator relates too. For the cast, the role of un-named narrator would play by my uncle. My aunt will play the role of un-named narrator’s wife. Lastly Robert would…

Also relationship of Lantin and his wife are shown very well. M. Lantin is shown to be an very…

In “on the rainy river” by Tim O’Brien, the narrator’s point of view contributes to the overall meaning by presenting a situation that the narrator was place in and then shows how his decision shaped or might have shaped his future. He first represented a sensitive character that would think about how people would think of him. His negative way of thinking lead him to take a wrong decision that changed his foreseeable future. By the author showing us how the character would think and act, he…

In the book Sula, I actually came up with many different narrations that were used throughout the book. There were examples of third person, first person, and omniscient. However, the narration that I think was used throughout the book the most was third person omniscient. I chose this one by how there is a narrator who is able to describe all the characters in the book, what they are thinking of, and some hidden events that happened in the book that all the characters did not know happened. An…

The story of “Eveline,” by James Joyce and, “The Story of An Hour,” by Kate Chopin compare in similar ways. The female protagonist, the theme of obtaining freedom as a young woman who is otherwise oppressed, settings and imagery are alike.

Eveline and Louise are similar because they crave freedom and their own individuality in a world dominated by men. Eveline and Louise are…

Isaac Babel wrote My First Goose (1925), which Walter Morrison translated. The narrator is unnamed, although it could be Babel. The narrator is the viewpoint character and is homodiegetic. They utilise first person POV, both singular and plural, as they use the pronouns ‘I’, ‘my’, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ (Babel 1925). The author’s reliability is unclear, and the narration is subjective, as it explains thoughts and feelings. The narrator’s use of first person POV immerses the reader in the story, as…
