Narrators, in the literary sense, are the entities or individuals responsible for recounting a story or conveying information to the reader or audience. They serve as the voice through which the plot, characters, and events of a narrative are presented. Narrators may possess their own distinct characteristics, perspectives, and reliability, which greatly influence the overall tone and understanding of the story.
There are generally three types of narrators: first-person, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient. First-person narrators are characters within the story who recount events from their own viewpoints, offering personal insight and emotions. They employ the use of pronouns like "I" and "we" to establish their presence as the storyteller.
Third-person limited narrators, on the other hand, do not participate in the events of the story but present it from the standpoint of one or a few characters. They utilize pronouns like "he," "she," and "they" to convey the narrative, granting readers access only to the thoughts and feelings of specific characters.
Lastly, third-person omniscient narrators have unrestricted access to the minds and perspectives of all the characters involved in the story. They possess all-knowing qualities, providing a comprehensive view of the narrative by maintaining an objective stance and revealing various characters' thoughts and motivations.
Narrators play a critical role in shaping the reader's understanding of the story, as their choice of language, biases, and narrative style heavily influence the audience's interpretation of events and characters. They offer unique insights, highlighting certain aspects of the plot while omitting or downplaying others, ultimately shaping the reader's experience and relationship with the work.
