Narrator Description Essay, Research Paper


What is narrator? Narrator is the voice the author creates to tell the story.


The possible ways of telling a story are many, and more than one way can be


worked into a single story. Conventionally, the various narrators that


storytellers draw upon can be grouped into four broad groups: the third-person


narrator, the first-person narrator, the omniscient narrator and the witness


narrator. After reading William Faulkner’s "A Rose For Emily" ,Edora


Welty’s "A Worn Path", Richard Wright’s "The Man Who Was Almost A


Man" and Katherine Anne Porter’s "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall",


I want to discuss what type of the narrative voice the four writers create in


their own stories. A witness narrator is who tells only what they see or hear


through their perspectives. For example, in William Faulkner’s "A Rose for


Emily" which is about an insane woman who kills her man and sleeps with the


dead man for ten years, I can

find that there is an example of witness narrator.


The author, William Faulkner, uses the Jefferson town people as witness to


create the town’s view about Emily. After the town noticed there was a stinky


smell from Miss Grierson house , they asked Judge Stevens to "send her word


to stop it"( Faulkner,337). The town people discussed about the stinky


smell from Emily ’s house, they were the observers. A first-person narrator is


when the narrator speaks using "I" or "We" pronouns. We can


see such first-person narrator in both "A Rose For Emily" and "


The Man Who Was Almost A Man". Faulkner uses the town people as observers


in "A Rose For Emily" but his we, though plural and representative if


the town’s view of Emily, is definitely a first-person narrator. Just as in the


article where it says "We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she


had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father driven away, and we


knew?"(338).
