Reliable.
The story must be told from one character's perspective.
Here are some questions you should ask:Is the narrator reliable? -- Can you trust what he or she says?Why is the narrator telling this story?Why did the author choose to tell the story this way?Is the narrator biased, or missing things that you as the reader can see?
Using a first person narrator in a humorous story allows for a more personal and relatable storytelling experience, as readers can directly connect with the narrator's thoughts and feelings. It also enhances the comedic effect by providing opportunities for witty comments, as the narrator can share their unique perspective on events in a funny way. Additionally, a first person narrator can create a sense of immediacy and intimacy, drawing readers into the story more effectively.
The profession of the narrator is that of a reliable and trustworthy storyteller who conveys information or narrates events in a way that engages the audience and creates a connection with the story being told.
Reliable narrator is the standard form of narration in most stories. A narrator is the voice who is telling a story. That voice can be reliable or unreliable, in that it can be considered to always be telling the story accurately or not. Unreliable narration is really a special, rare case where the narrators credibility has been compromised. To understand reliable narration it is easiest to consider unreliable narration. A narrator might be considered unreliable if their telling of the story is shown likely be inaccurate. The narrator may give conflicting accounts of events (e.g. "Hero"), be revealed to be lying (e.g. "The Usual Suspects"), or it may become apparent that the narrator though believing their account might be suffering from a mental disorder (e.g. "Memento"). In all these situations the narrative is taking place from the first person perspective. Note that in the above examples (I used films, but it applies to everything) the narrator is deceiving the audience i.e. if the audience takes what the narrator says at face value then they have an inaccurate account of what took place. This is different from the narrator being either mistaken, or themselves deceived by another character, in which case they are not being unreliable.
The writer's attitude toward the material and/or readers. Tone may be playful, formal, intimate, angry, serious, ironic, outraged, baffled, tender, serene, depressed, etc.
Tell the story through more one narrator
the way he looked at him
Poe uses language to show the narrator's unreliability through inconsistencies, exaggerations, and contradictions in the narration. The narrator may change details or present events in a distorted way, leading readers to question the accuracy of the account. Poe's use of unreliable language creates ambiguity and a sense of unease in the reader's interpretation of the narrator's mental state.
First person point of view is a very intimate way to tell a story. The reader is inside of the narrator's head, seeing everything they do and knowing their thoughts. It draws the reader into the story by giving them this intimacy and showing them more about the main character.
