Narrator Point of View - Analysis, The Revolutionist | The Revolutionist- Summary, Themes & Characters - Novels PDF Download

Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?

First Person (Peripheral)

You might think that in a story as short as "The Revolutionist" the first-person narration style would be utilized to help readers dive into the narrative as quickly as possible—you know, to really foster some connection by plopping us right down in the most intimate thoughts of one of the characters. But in this case, you would be wrong. The story is told in the first person, sure, but we know virtually nothing about the person doing the telling.

And this is kind of the point, we think: In war, people's lives intersect in passing—a nurse tends a wound here, a soldier needs a hand there—and so it goes for us as readers with both the comrade and our narrator. So while we might not finish reading and feel like we really know the guy we just hung out with, we do get the feeling for these fleeting wartime interactions.
