How do you describe the narrator of the story?

Answer 1

Everybody sees the world differently - they each have their own point of view. Stories vary depending on who is telling them. Think about the story of the Three Little Pigs - how different would that be if the wolf told it?

Answer 2

You need a different narrator depending on your theme. If you're telling an emotional tale with lots of introspection, you'd want a first-person narrator. If you're telling an action story, you'd want a third-person narrator - and depending on what your theme is, you'd pick the character best able to get that theme across to the readers. In other words, it depends on what you're trying to say to the readers.

Answer 3

The narrator of the story is the character who tells the story to the audience. They may be a first-person narrator who is a character in the story, a third-person narrator who shares the story from an outside perspective, or an omniscient narrator who knows everything about the characters and events. The narrator's perspective and reliability can significantly influence the reader's understanding of the story.
