Specifically, by telling a story from an unreliable narrator's point of view encourages us to react a certain way as well as being able to personally connect with the narrator. ]]> 2021-08-13 02:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/v5cpwb8w7ajfccq/wish/1677627539 To engage readers on a deeper level which forces them to come up with their own conclusions as the narrator point of view can't be trusted. https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/v5cpwb8w7ajfccq/wish/1677627558 2021-08-13 02:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/v5cpwb8w7ajfccq/wish/1677627558 I think it can make the plot more tense as what was once thought to be real is completely different.

I think authors use this device to engage readers on a deeper level, forcing them to come to their own conclusions when the narrator’s point of view can’t be trusted. An unreliable narrator is an untrustworthy storyteller, most often used in narratives with a first-person point of view. The unreliable narrator is either deliberately deceptive or unintentionally misguided, forcing the reader to question their credibility as a storyteller.]]> 2021-08-13 03:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/samanthaelderton4/v5cpwb8w7ajfccq/wish/1677668507
