Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. We go along with Nick as he learns about Gatsby’s secrets. We only know what Nick knows, but we get to follow Nick’s curiosity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6595c1c69ed14d13cd005b32/1d1ebd4b-e622-4cbb-bbc7-b1e3cd28576b/Screenshot+%285%29.png Blog - Point of View: Deciding who’s telling the story to whom A famous example of multiple first-person narrations in one: Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible. In each chapter, we are immersed in one character’s secret inner world. At the next chapter, we switch to another character. What we get is an intimate view of everyone. We know this family more intimately than they’re able to know each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6595c1c69ed14d13cd005b32/8377bf40-361d-4b6b-b726-f528923a3c03/Screenshot+%286%29.png Blog - Point of View: Deciding who’s telling the story to whom A famous example: Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House. Machado’s memoir of domestic violence puts us in Carmen’s shoes, we see her relationship unfold as she did, with- all of its complexity. What she shows us: This could happen to any of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6595c1c69ed14d13cd005b32/76d14a85-c2bc-4e74-bd8d-194c1a23c2d7/Screenshot+%287%29.png Blog - Point of View: Deciding who’s telling the story to whom *A note: Second person narration is not the same as breaking the fourth wall. In breaking the fourth wall, you typically use a first- or third-person narration, and occasionally address the reader. (Famously, in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, our first person narrator tells us of Mr. Rochester: “Reader, I married him.”) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6595c1c69ed14d13cd005b32/e0d5aa35-e12d-4ea1-89f7-a4a48570fc9b/Screenshot+%2810%29.png Blog - Point of View: Deciding who’s telling the story to whom A famous third-person limited novel: Xochitl Gonzalez’s Olga Dies Dreaming. We go along with Olga on her journey, and we only know and see what she does. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6595c1c69ed14d13cd005b32/0cd2e3f2-091b-44a4-9d79-f6a2ebfd36c1/Screenshot+%288%29.png Blog - Point of View: Deciding who’s telling the story to whom Third person omniscient narration isn’t as common in contemporary fiction. In the early days of novels, it was used more often. Dickens and Tolstoy were quite the omniscients. https://www.softcovercreative.com/blog/sensory-pleasures-finding-inspiration-in-the-tactile monthly 0.5 2024-01-09
