ABSTRACT
This chapter will focus on a number of issues which relate to the study of narrative. It will first look at the idea of the narrator and the narratee which appears in many texts including literature. It will then look at first and third person narratives in fiction, which will lead on to an analysis of how much narrators know, and how reliable they are. It will then explore the representation of speech and thought. The chapter closes by looking at chronology in narratives and the reader’s point of view.
