It shows that…

In the short story “Cathedral” the point of view isn't hard to figure out. Through the first person narrative, the reader is able to see the transformation that is undergone by the main character in a single night. One of the first things the narrator describes is his wife's relationship with Robert. From what the husband describes, the reader is left with the impression that he doesn't think very highly of blind people. The reader is also left with the sense that he distrusts blind people,…

classic narrative into America’s roaring twenties. All of the characters and their accounts are reflected and represented through the eyes and viewpoint of the main narrator, Nick Carraway. Subsequently, this novel is told from the first-person point of view or subjective viewpoint. Nick Carraway narrating the story then presents an informational bias.

The narration provided within William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” can be considered omniscience limited. With this type of narration Faulkner is able to convey a large part of the story centered around “Sarty’s” understanding of the situation but, he is also not directly involved.
