Narrator

People's opinions are often heavily biased, since they can only see one facet but not the other. And the reason these self centered antagonists often landed on the center of the stage was for only one purpose- entertainment. People often find those characters funny, but what they don't understand is the characters are simply an exaggerated( and in some cases, not) example of themselves. Most people refused to admit that. In the " Tell-tale Heart"the narrator had proven himself a madman right from the beginning, murdering a harmless old man whom he adores just because his pale blue eyes feared him. Definitely not normal, but he sure thought so.  The unfamous book " Hells and Heavens" also served an excellent example of a biased narration. For those who don't know ( and I'm assuming that none of you do, but that's perfectly fine.) The narrator and main character- Lucinda Karren was tormented with her love to Francis- a demon from hell, his compel for her made her life a living hell. And a literal one, not just a mental one. Meanwhile, her Christian family and society commanded her to side with Edward, an angelic man who later seized her... Anyway, not important. What I was trying to say is that in this story Lucinda had many biased opinions about society" Women are cowardly, they believe what the society wants them to believe" was one of the most famous quotes out of that story.
