Question

In this clip, William asks, "What does an unreliable narrator show about the importance of character in horror?" How does his question and the discussion that follows lead to an understanding of the importance of point of view in horror tales? Explain with evidence from the video.

Answer 1

This shows that the narrative point of view is very important in relation to the readers' perception and the feelings they capture from the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the discussion we can see that the narrators' point of view within a narrative is very important and influential in relation to the way we perceive, interpret and feel the story. This is because the narrator is responsible for giving us an insight into what is happening.

Third-person narration gives us a paromic view of how the facts really happen. This gives us a sense of certainty and imposes an easier and more complete interpretation of what is happening.

The first person narration, however, gives us a limited view of the facts, however profound and person, but which needs a more detailed interpretation, since the facts may have been modified by the narrator's perception.
