- The objective: To create a narrator who unwittingly reveals—through subtle signals of language, details, contradictions, and biases—that his/ her judgment of events and people is too subjective to be trusted. The reader must this discount the version of the story offered by the narrator and try to re-create a more objective one for himself.
