A voice is a person who tells the story in a literally text. And according to me, the literally text that’s familiar with me is the novel LORD OF THE FLIES. Lord of the fillies is a third person narration. This means an omniscient narrator. Someone who’s all knowing. Lord of the flies is an allegorical fiction by William Golding whose major intension was to portray the source of evil in man. Lord of the flies being the third person omniscient narrator shows the reader everything that’s is to be shown for example in a space of few pages in chapter eight, we get jack hunting “happy and wearing” the dump darkness of the forest like his old clothes and Simon watching the flies swarm black and indecent green on the pigs head and then piggy flashing pinky with pride when he understands that jack is accepting him, their fore these are three different characters in different places in the island Simons encounter with the pigs head and the head is trying to speak to him. This omniscient narrator uses his man character Ralph to portray events in the lord of the flies. Ralph as the protagonist, William uses him to bring out his character Their fore there two types of third person Narration i.e. 1. The Objective narrator who is invisible and reflects events as they happen but doesn’t offer his opinion. He also shows action in dialogue but never internal thoughts. 2. Subjective Narrator. This is the narrator who shows internal thoughts and characters in the scene. Eg the emotion of the character for example piggy being bullied by Simon and how Ralph felt about it. Through this kind of emotion, the narrator tries to connect to the reader and this portrays the effectiveness of the narration as elaborated in details below The effectiveness is evidenced in the character traits developed - Moods or atmosphere for example the pigs heads and Simons encounter - The themes in the novel lord of the flies therefore the omniscient narration makes us objective that jack is a wrong character as portrayed to his character traits The omniscient narrator also brings out the message in fewer words giving room to the reader to have his or her own perception about the characters in the novel. The omniscient narrator introduces readers to scenes at a distance for example when jack take the boys to hunt with piggy and Ralph, they ended up being mistreated. Jack denies piggy and they beat him up. The omniscient narrator brings out the secret events in the novel for example - The evil nature of man in the novel - How man had become a pure savage that he didn’t know himself
