Module 7 Discussion: Unreliable narrators

No unread replies.No replies.

Narrators are responsible for telling the action of the story. Unreliable narrators (typically first-person narrators) often have a twist or some sort of inability to be honest. This is true in film as well. For this discussion, write a 250 word discussion board post over a film, tv episode or story where an unreliable narrator is used. A film example is The Usual Suspects, where the actual "bad guy" is the person everyone would least expect. Identify the unreliable narrator and explain how it works and affects the text. Feel free to use one of the stories from this unit or you may find another story as long as you are able to support your claim. Writers that use unreliable narrators tend to tell really interesting and engaging stories so this should be good!
