Name that Narrator!
Advanced Narratology Review:
1. What is hermeneutics? Why is this is an important field?
2. What does a diegetic narrator do?
3. What is the connection between narrative, sjuzet, fabula and diegesis?
A Little Reminder…
A homodiegtiegtic narrator is present in the story they’re telling, but not the protagonist
(Unbearable Lightness of Being, Great Gatsby, East of Eden).
A heterodiegetic narrator absent from the story they’re telling (Age of Innocence).
An autodiegtic narrator tells their own story in which they’re the protagonists (Catcher
in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird)
Directions: I am going to play different clips. For each clip you must:
1. Title the clip (so I know what you are talking about).
2. Identify the type of narrator.
3. Provide an explanation for your choice.
4. Cite a specific example from the clip that supports your claim.
