A narrator is a person or character who tells a story, providing the audience with information about the plot, characters, and events. In literature, the narrator can take various forms, including:
1. **First-Person Narrator**: A character in the story speaks using "I" or "we," providing a subjective perspective based on their personal thoughts and experiences.
2. **Third-Person Narrator**: The story is told from an outside perspective, using "he," "she," or "they." This can be either:
- **Omniscient**: The narrator knows everything about the characters and events.
- **Limited**: The narrator has insight into only one character's thoughts and feelings.
3. **Second-Person Narrator**: The reader is addressed directly using "you," making them a character in the story.
4. **Unreliable Narrator**: A narrator whose credibility is compromised, leading to a skewed or distorted version of events.
The choice of narrator significantly influences how a story is perceived and understood by the audience, shaping their emotional engagement and interpretation.
