Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 19 AIL 1819 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Captions available
The idea
Unit ten worked the opening of Eveline: third person throughout, and the reader inside her senses, with her state reported flatly as three words. The narration takes her vocabulary as well as her vantage, which is free indirect discourse at close range.
In practice
Her vantage and her vocabulary.
Where people slip
Unit ten worked the passage.
