Here's a breakdown:
* Narrator: The voice that tells the story.
* Point of View: The perspective from which the story is told.
* Types of Narrators:
* First-person: The narrator is a character within the story, using "I" and "me".
* Second-person: The narrator directly addresses the reader, using "you".
* Third-person: The narrator is an outside observer, using "he," "she," "it," and "they."
* Third-person limited: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of only one character.
* Third-person omniscient: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters.
Example:
In the novel "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, the narrator is a third-person omniscient narrator. We know the thoughts and feelings of all the characters, even though they are not explicitly stated.
Key Points:
* The narrator doesn't have to be a character in the story.
* The narrator's voice sets the tone and style of the story.
* The narrator's perspective influences how the reader understands the events and characters.
