The Wild Duck #1

PoV/Characters

From whose point of view is the story told?
The story is told by all the actors within the play, since it's a play and there's no actual narrator besides the description of the stage movements.

Does this change?
No it does not.

How reliable is the narrative voice?
Very reliable since it's from the actors/characters themselves.

How well does the reader get to know the characters?
They only get to scratch the surface of each characters. Besides a few under the breath
comments, there's no insight into what the character is thinking. We can only analyze them
from their interactions with each other, they don't get to see the thought processes of these
characters actions.

How credible are they?
Somewhat credible, refer to previous question for a more definitive answer.

How are they presented?
Knowledge of the characters are presented by the interactions the characters have with
the other characters.

How does the writer persuade us to like/sympathize with some characters and
dislike others?
By the actions each individual character does and how they speak.
