When analyzing the narrator's perspective, the reader is focusing on the narrator's point of view and how it shapes the telling of the story. This includes considering the narrator's reliability, bias, knowledge, and feelings towards events and characters in the story. Understanding the narrator's perspective can provide insight into the overall meaning and impact of the narrative.

Compare and contrast narration and narrative voice in The Tell-Tale Heart and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge?

The authors, Ambrose Bierce of 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' and Edger Allan Poe of 'The Tell Tale Heart' have unique styles to pull the reader into the story. Both authors use unreliable narrator and imagery to allow the reader to picture and follow the narrator's way of thinking. In the Tell Tale Heart, the man is very repetitious and his psychotic behavior is what intrigues the overall dark madness of The Tell Tale Heart. In Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Bierce uses illusions to allow the reader to follow wherever his ideas lead which also intrigues the overall dark madness effect. After the old man is dead and under the floorboards the police arrive, and the narrator remains calm and his "manor had convinced them.?Villains!" "Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- Here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!" The narrator of "The Tell Tale Heart" shows that he is unreliable. Concluding the questioning by the police, the narrator had a sudden fear and assumed that the policemen have heard the old man?s heart beat. Not only the narrator could hear the old man?s heart beating, but it is assumed (from the audience perspective) that the police could hear the narrator?s heart beating. The narrator listening to the old man?s heart beat is a replacement of his own consciousness that brought out the guiltiness for murdering the old man. In the last three paragraphs of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge told by a third person point of view, Farquhar is being hanged by the rope, and when the rope is undone, Farquhar escapes and sees the light of the river. The light in this particular story represents a warm bright light from heaven. On other hand on the complete opposite side, in The Tell Tale Heart the light (lantern) signifies fear of the eye. However the narrator reveals that Farquhar?s escape is a hallucination that lasts only from moment the rope breaks his neck at the end of the fall. In the Tell Tale Heart, Poe uses many figures of speech such as Anaphora at the beginning of a clause throughout the whole entire story as the narrator becomes calm and mad about the crime the narrator committed. A couple examples are: ?I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell.? In An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Bierce tends to use allusions that allude to slavery. An example in paragraph twenty, that circle of black represents slavery, the fatal injury to Peyton Farquhar?s soul. Bierce relies on imagery throughout the story on sight, and sound. An example of imagery with alliteration and onomatopoeia that is used in An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is, ?A whiz and rattle of grapeshot among the branches high above his head roused him from his dream.?
