Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 13   AIL 1203 short lesson, about 20 seconds

No Narrator Means No Guidance

Captions available

The idea

Units ten and eleven rested on a narrator selecting detail and colouring it. A play removes that intermediary, so the reader assembles character from speech alone. It is harder and it is also cleaner, because there is no voice standing between the evidence and the reader.

In practice

The intermediary is gone.

Where people slip

Harder, but the evidence is direct.
