CHAPTER VIII. TYPES OF NARRATIVE. NARRATIVE - 
COMPOSITIONAL FORMS 
1. Types of narrative 
Unlike a playwright or a film maker, a writer of fiction exercises far greater 
control in focusing his reader’s attention. By selecting and arranging language means, 
through the quality of the words themselves, he manipulates the reader’s response. 
And in this respect the most important notion to the art of fiction is a 
narrative voice
, 
real or implied, that presents the story to the reader. “When we talk about narrative 
voice, we are talking about 
point of view
, the method of narration that determines the 
position, or angle of vision, from which the story is told. /.../ So crucial is point of 
view that, once having been chosen, it will colour and shape the way in which 
everything else is presented and perceived, including plot, character, and setting. Alter 
or change the point of view, and you alter and change the story” [56: 41]. The choice 
of the point of view “fundamentally affects the way readers will respond, emotionally 
and morally, to the fictional characters and their actions. /.../ Madame Bovary narrated 
mainly from the point of view of Charles Bovary would be a very different book from 
the one we know” [53: 26]. Furthermore, the author’s and his personages’ points of 
view may be different: they may have different angles of perception of the same 
object, thus an effect of polyphony being organized [47: 100]. Hence, an artistic 
prosaic text is never homogeneous in its narrative structure. It means that the subject 
matter of a literary work can be presented by the author in a variety of ways. 
Scholars usually differentiate between either 
three or four major types of 
narrative:
