Who is The Narrators from Exercises in Style and what is their importance? Exercises_in_Style English & Literature The Narrators | Exercises in Style

In several of the Exercises, the voice of the narrator could be perceived as neutral, as simply recounting the story, albeit in a specific way. For example, "Negativities" (Part 4) and "Asides" (Part 6) are straightforward presentations of the various narrative style in question without any sense of attitude in the narrative voice. In several other cases, however, that voice is defined by a clearly developed sense of identity. In "Cockney" (Part 6) and "Feminine" (Part 10), the narrators are specific types—a British Cockney and a woman respectively. "Reactionary" (Section 9) takes character development even further, with the narrator telling the story from within a specific emotional context. Finally, there are several exercises in which character can be inferred, in which the style explored communicates a sense of character without one actually being defined—in other words, an "implied" character. "You Know" (Part 6) and "Awkward" (Part 7) are examples of this version of narrative shaping.
