Unreliable Narrator

Construct a story told by an unreliable narrator whose interpretations and explanations can’t be taken at face value.

Unreliable narrators offer a distorted perspective – incomplete facts, deliberate deception, or impaired perceptions – that adds a layer of complexity to the story. This narrative technique invites readers to question the narrator’s credibility, unravel the truth from the falsehoods, and confront their interpretations. It adds unexpected twists, encourages skepticism, and enhances plot intrigue.
