narrative proper bears upon the plot,
onward progression of action. In the theory of literature a
distinction is drawn between the
scenic narrative, presenting to
the reader a particular occasion, and the
panoramic method of
narrative, giving a sweeping view of an extended period of time.
Narrative is opposed to
descriptions , which reflect the
coexistence of objects at one time and serve to depict nature,
premises, and appearance, or for direct characterization.
Sometimes there is a blend of description and narrative, known as
‘dynamic description’. A description of scenery and setting,
especially, of nature, often serves as a tool for characterization, as
it may emphasize and set off the subtlest hues of a character’s
emotions.
