In the Advanced Practice Unit of my MA in Professional Writing, I have been researching and playing around with using multiple narrators.
So why do authors sometimes use multiple narrators? There are multiple answers.
The most common reason seems to be when it is important to obtain different characters' views on a single matter, such as in mystery or detective novels.
Another use of multiple narrators is to describe separate events that occur at the same time in different locations, rather like the usage of several split screens in some contemporary television series.
Yet another is to introduce or describe a main character from different people's perspectives.
What other reasons do you know?
