Types of Narrator A Few Basic Types

Participant  Writes in first person  May be a major or a minor character

Types of Participant Narrators  Innocent Narrator- Does not understand the implications of the events, but reports them.  Unreliable Narrator- May not be believable due to deception, delusion, or derangement.

Non- Participant  Writes in third person  Can possess different levels of knowledge of characters: Omniscient- Sees into the mind of all the characters. Limited Omniscience- Sees events through the eyes of one character. Objective- Does not enter the mind of any character; an outside observer.
