Journal 70: Narrator


A lot of books are naratted by a narrator, sometimes they can not be relied on because they only talk about one side of the story and might sometimes be very unfair. It is pretty much like a normal story where the bad guy is always evil and must be eliminated, and everyone should hate him, no one, howerver, talks abotut eh bad guys view, or his story, or how he gotten bad.
        The narrator in this story clearly cannot be trusted since he asked the audience “why do you think of me sa mad? The disease sharpened my senses…” this is like asking the audience “why do you not like me?” it proven that the narrator has a disease and also is pretty much mad. We should not trust what the narrator says since he is a madmen, nor should we believe what he says.
        If I remember correctly, these type of storiesa re first-person narrative, and are often very unbalanced and are only look at one sid’s view of the conflict. This story are often entertaining since we can closly relate to one character’s feelings and better understand and establishing a closer link to a character. The author might wat to establish a unliable character to prove his madness, thus making the story more interesting. By using the murderer as the narrator, the author can express the killers emotional feelings. It would be pretty lame if a offcer just wrote, today we caught a madman who killed a old man and hid his heard under the floor
