POINT+OF+VIEW+WRITING



the story progresses, it is obvious the narrator starts going insane, involving herself a bit too much with the woman she sees in the yellow wallpaper. She writes that the "the dim shapes get clearer every day" on the wallpaper and that it is "like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern" (8). This first person point of view creates a closer relationship between the readers and the author/narrator. iNTERESTING GOOD POINT. It is questionable whether or not the woman is a reliable narrator, considering the fact that she is going crazy. NICE THAT YOU DON'T ASSUME AUTOMATICALLY THAT JUST BECAUSE SHE IS CRAZY SHE IS UNRELIABLE. However, either way, readers are engaged to this woman's nonsense that she constantly pushes against her husband's assumptions. When a story is told in first person point of view, it generates an automatic trust to the narrator because the whole point of writing in first person is trying to make it seem as if the author really is the narrator (although it isn't always true). NOT ACCURATE. When using this method of writing, it enhances the meaning of the story that the author intends 10/10
