The narrator is the voice in a literary work (poem, story, book, movie, play, radio production) who conveys the story to the audience (viewer, listener, reader). The narrator may be fictional or non-fictional, a character in the story (think Bob Saget in How I Met Your Mother or Daniel Stern in The Wonder Years, or Ishmael from Moby Dick). The narrator may be identified by name, or not identified by anything other than the grammatical person (first person or third person) in which the story is told. The narrator may be omniscient (all knowing) or limited (with only partial knowledge of the thoughts, feelings, and motivations of characters).
