TIPOS DE NARRADORES (PARTE 1) 👨🏫 (NARRADOR EN PRIMERA, SEGUNDA Y TERCERA PERSONA) - Elprofegato
Types of Narrators: Part 1
Introduction to Narrators
- The video discusses the concept of narrators, defining what a narrator is and outlining three basic classifications: first-person, second-person, and third-person narrators.
- The narrator serves as a bridge between the author and the reader, translating the author's intentions into narrative form.
Distinction Between Author and Narrator
- It is crucial to differentiate between the author (the creator of the story) and the narrator (the voice that recounts events). The narrator acts as an idealized version of the author within the text.
- The narrator's role includes detailing events, characters, settings, etc., providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the narrative world.
First-Person Narrator
- A first-person narrator tells stories from their own perspective or that of another character involved in the plot; this type is often referred to as an internal narrator.
- An example illustrates how first-person narration allows for personal insights and experiences: "When I went to buy..." indicates direct involvement in events.
Second-Person Narrator
- The second-person narrator addresses a real or imagined listener/reader directly, creating an immersive experience by including them in the narrative ("You sleep without dreaming..."). This style can also appear in dialogues but differs from traditional narration.
- This approach effectively engages readers by making them feel part of the unfolding story through direct address.
Third-Person Narrator
- A third-person narrator remains outside of the action, often referred to as omniscient because they know everything about characters and settings without being part of them. This type provides a broader perspective on events.
- An example demonstrates this omniscience: "Silvina looked without seeing..." shows how this narrator can convey thoughts and feelings while remaining detached from characters' actions.
Conclusion
- The video concludes with a promise to explore additional classifications of narrators in future content, emphasizing that this discussion covers only foundational aspects related to types of narrators.
