Question

What is a self conscious narrator?

Answer 1

A self-conscious narrator is a narrator (someone who tells the story) that openly points out or admits that the story is fiction and that the events within the story are not to be believed. Essentially, its a narrator who says what they’re telling us is not real.

Answer 2

The self-conscious narrator throughout the story keeps reminding the reader that the characters are fictional, dispelling any illusion that they were real people.
