A narrator is a person or character who tells a story, guiding the audience through the plot and providing insights into the characters and events. Narrators can be found in various forms of media, including literature, film, and theater. They can be either first-person, sharing their own experiences, or third-person, offering an outside perspective on the story.
In literature, narrators can also be unreliable, meaning they may not provide accurate information or may have a biased viewpoint. This technique can create suspense or intrigue, prompting readers to question the truth of the narrative. Examples of narrators include Huckleberry Finn from Mark Twain's novel and Nick Carraway from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby."
