When we think in third person, we do not get the same internal emotions and troubles as we do when a story is told in first person. Third person is thought to be more impersonal, talking about the physical actions rather than emotional feelings of the character.

Cain, author of the novel, and Ranald MacDougall, screenwriter of the Michael Curtiz film, take tremendously different…
