Re: What do you consider counts as an unreliable narrator?

[personal profile] greenvelvetcake 2013-10-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't necessarily count a naive/young/ignorant narrator as unreliable. They might not understand what's going on, but they can still narrate the events reliably so the audience can understand them. Take Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird - she was too young to understand some of the elements in the world around her, but she could still convey them in a way that the audience gets the idea.

To me, an unreliable narrator doesn't have to be deliberately unreliable, just enough so that the events/characters/story is distorted from their/the audience's viewpoint.

When I think of an unreliable narrator, I think of the many different narrators in House of Leaves, all unreliable for different reasons - memory worn away by age, hallucinations brought about by drug use/schizophrenia, and a filmmaker whose job is to present a cinematic story, not the true story.
