	Narrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of the unreliable narrator (as opposed to Author) became more important with the rise of the novel in the 19th Century.
		An unreliable narrator is a force behind the power of first person narratives, and provides the only unbiased clues about the character of the narrator.
		To some extent all narrators are unreliable, varying in degree from trust-worthy Ishmael in Moby Dick to the severely retarded Benjy in The Sound and the Fury and the criminal Humbert Humbert in Lolita.

		Narrator The voice of the person telling the story, not to be confused with the author's voice.
		Often, the unreliable narrator's perception of plot, characters, and setting becomes the actual subject of the story, as in Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener." Narrators can be unreliable for a number of reasons: they might lack self-knowledge (like Melville's lawyer), they might be inexperienced, they might even be insane.
		An omniscient narrator is an all-knowing narrator who is not a character in the story and who can move from place to place and pass back and forth through time, slipping into and out of characters as no human being possibly could in real life.

	The UVic Writer's Guide: Narrator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The narrator is the character who is telling the story, or is assumed to be speaking in a poem or novel.
		The narrator is to be distinguished from the author of the work -- even if it is assumed to be autobiographical.
		A distinction is sometimes made also between the narrator, the author, and the implied author; the implied author is a presence inferred by the reader as the guiding personality behind the work, not necessarily synonymous with the actual author, who may have written other books with different implied authors.

	The Narrator and The Red Mask: A Dual Character?
		There is the possibility that the narrator is an omnipresent character, the super ego of the author.
		He or she might have found a way into the abbey and infected everyone; or it can be a dying guest who may have recorded the last moments of the episode, maybe even in blood.
		In addition, the narrator was surely a primary witness since he was able to describe every single moment of the night and even comment on the time of each.

	Dowling on Pale Fire
		I think that John Shade and Kinbote are creations of a narrator resembling Vladimir Nabokov, and that this narrator "shows himself" at a certain crucial point in a way that cannot be denied.
		I think the Nabokov-like narrator is saying something like this: "A work of art originates in the consciousness of a creator, but it does so in a manner of speaking 'from the outside'." This is what the ancient invocation of the Muses was about.
		For the "third narrator," it is the spectre that briefly appears at the very end of the book -- "a bigger, more respectable, more competent Gradus" -- and shows that he is aware that an actual death lies ahead for him, as it does for all mortals.

		If ever the narrator finds a block in the narrating, it is the responsibility of the novelist who is outside of the world of the novel to invent for the narrator more material and this may include autobiographical material.
		The autobiography of the character is essential to the narrator's ability to characterize the character.
		is determined by its being narrated by the narrator as being the case or not being the case elsewhere within the world of the novel.

		The first person narrator's viewpoint is necessarily limited to his/her own perceptions and sensations: a first person narrator simply does not know other characters' experiences or perceptions.
		A first person narrator such as Sei Shonagon may be unreliable or biased because of her lack of objectivity.
		The characterization of the narrator in The Pillow Book is indirect, by recording the narrator's thoughts and feelings, by showing her emotions, and by illustrating her relationships with others.

	Microsoft Narrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Narrator is included with every copy of Microsoft Windows, providing a measure of access to Windows without the need to install additional software as long as the computer in use includes a sound card and speakers or headphones.
		Narrator can assist a blind person in installing a full-function screen reader, assisting the user until his/her screen reader of choice is up and running.
		Narrator may be seen as a precursor to inclusion of more complete screen readers as part of a computer's operating system.

	Using the Narrator in Radio Drama
		Unfortunately, the radio narrator is sometimes used to "head the audience off at the gap"--meaning they can intrude and break the spell of the drama.
		The narrator is a great problem solver for radio dramatists, but I prefer to limit the traditional omniscient narrator's appearance to the beginning or end of a scene.
		This narrator can also imbue the exposition with much needed attitude--something that is difficult for the typical "radio announcer" narrator.

	Narrator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		That narrator is usually a character in the story, who interacts with other characters; we see those interactions through the narrator's eyes, and we can't know anything the narrator doesn't know.
		Third-person narration may also be focalized through a particular character, meaning that the narrator tells us how that character sees the world, but can't, or at least doesn't, read the mind of all the characters this way.
		There are other things we need to know about the narrator, especially since the narrator may be very different from the author, and because the more we know about the narrator the better situated we are to understand and analyze what s/he is telling us.

	House on Mango Street Child Narrator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The fact that she is so young and innocent cannot reveal to us what the reality of the situation is. In truth, as the reader, we see that Ruthie seems a bit unstable and most likely mentally handicapped.
		For example if she feels confused because of something that happens because of her lack of writing skills and ability to write as an adult we may not understand what is going on either which would confuse us, as well as her.
		Another disadvantage of the child narrator is that she comes off as naïve and non-comprehending.

	[No title]
		The Narrator knows now, or at least can guess, that the task of purging the Pandarus in him is going to be an arduous one, even as he also knows, and probably with certainty, that a pose is by definition insecure.
		The Narrator is slowly recognizing that he is just such an audience of the poem he is translating as is Criseyde of Antigone's lyric; and as this recognition increases, he struggles against the tendency to "print" the poem in his own heart, finally achieving the distance of the last two books.
		If the Narrator colors the text with his rhetoric, so as to change its appearance of tragedy, the original hues nonetheless shine through, the original character asserts itself--this is not his "comedye." When the time comes, in fact, the Narrator will even expose Criseyde to infamy, much as he has come to love her.

	Critical Concepts: First-Person Narrator
		It will be clear pretty much at the outset if we are dealing with a "first-person" narrator: the narrator refers to himself or herself as "I." When this happens, we are on notice that the story is being told to us by a one of the characters in the story.
		A by-stander narrator, for instance, may be set up by the author to have to figure out the agents of the main action, or even what some of the crucial events are of the action itself.
		The author's job here is to convey, through the distorted lens of the narrator's consciousness enough clues for it to dawn on the readership that its job is to construct a different understanding of what has happened, or of its meaning, than the narrator himself or herself ever arrives at.

	Joyce - Papers: The Anxious Narrator
		Protean from chapter to chapter, the Ulysses narrator joins restiveness to verbal celebration and a love of mimickry to flamboyance, pride, self-consciousness, sociability, ambivalence about communicating at all, conflicted empathy for his characters, and challenge to his readers.
		But there is a choked, clotted feeling pervading the chapter, a resistance or unease discernible in the behavior of just about all the males and encompassed in the narrator's exuberant inclusiveness of, dependence on, and competitiveness with the great prose writers in English.
		My own sense is that the performative narrator, shaken badly in "Oxen," recovers in "Circe" by way of the protective manner of dreams -- the guardians of sleep in Freud's formulation (1900, p.

	Glossary of Literary Terms
		The narrator of the two bookend sections is often different from the narrator of the main section.
		Sometimes the narrator of the bookend sections offers information that the main narrator does not or could not know but that the reader needs to understand the full significance of the story.
		In fiction presented in the first person, the 'I' who tells the story is the narrator; the narrator may be in any of various relations to the events described, ranging from being their center (the protagonist) through various degrees of importance (minor characters) to being merely a witness.

		Matt Maxwell is right, a narrator in comics who isn't just explaining the images is hard but I think more writers need to at least look at the benefits.
		One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is maybe a better example of the difference not having a narrator makes because the book has a narrator (Chief Bromden) and the movie doesn't.

		However, Wolfe's tale differs from Tolkien's in narration; rather than telling his tale from the point of view of a detached, third person narrator, Wolfe describes his fantasy world by means of his protagonist, Severian.
		Unlike Lewis' use of "I" as a third person narrator not involved in the action, MacDonald tells his story from the point of view of the protagonist of the tale, Anodos, whom the plot revolves around.

	Unreliable narrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The nature of the narrator is sometimes immediately clear, though a more dramatic use of the device delays the revelation until near the story's end, resulting in a significant realignment of the point of view from which the reader/audience thought they had been experiencing the story.
		Sometimes the narrator's unreliability is only hinted at, either at the beginning or end of the story, resulting in ambiguity in the reader/audience's mind as to how the story should be interpreted.
		Another class of unreliable narrator is one who, as a participant in the story, intentionally attempts to deceive the audience as well as the other characters.

	RPGnet: Review of Star Trek Narrator's Screen
		I thought perhaps that with this piece of paper devoted to art on the front and ad copy on the back the actual Narrator's Screen would be a two-sided affair, with relevant charts on both sides of the screen, for ease of reference for both player and Narrator.
		Still, despite being one-sided, the charts on the Narrator Screen are very useful during the course of play.
		In the Narrator's Guide Decipher introduced special sheets where a Narrator could write down an outline for the campaign he wanted to run, stats for NPCs, rough outlines for planets, etc. In other words, they provided sheets for information that could easily be put on scrap paper or notebook paper.
