NARRATOR


The third person narrator is one that relates the story by using he/she etc... They are usually outside the story.  They can be omniscient (seeing and knowing everything) with an unlimited point of view. It is also possible that a third person narrator has a limited point of view, so that they cannot see into the minds of some of the characters, for example.

The first person narrator will tell the story using the pronoun I. This narrator can only have a limited point of view. The I-person can be an observer to the story or someone who plays a minor role in the story. However, it can also be the protagonist.
An obtrusive narrator gives commentary and evaluates.
An unobtrusive narrator would describe the events or the characters without much commentary.
Is the narrator in your short story or novel reliable or unreliable? What makes you say so?
