Of Plymouth Plantation is considered to be a narrative because it is a true story. A narrative is defined as a story that is written in great detail about someone. It can be a song, dance, theatrical play, poem or prose. The idea is that a narrative is meant to include the whole story. It is important to note that the narrative is not the actual story itself, it is rather the retelling of the story. A narrative can also emphasise a particular aspect of a story.
