Narratology

This week's literary theory topic will be Narratology. Narratology is the study of narrative framework that affects how readers understand a piece of literature. This study analyzes the tone, characterization, perspective and point of view, tense in which the piece is written, et cetera, and can be used in terms of literature and cinema!

Analyzing characters, their attitudes, and how they are written and portrayed is one of the most popular forms of narratology, especially in cinematic context. Rodrigo Yurrita presents this best in his video here. Next week's novel critique will focus on narrative perspective and character analysis!
