Narrator

Narrator is one who tells a story, the speaker or the “voice” of an oral or written work.

Almost every work of literature has a narrator to tell the story. In some cases the narrator isn’t always the main character. However, in The Notebook, the narrator isn’t named at first, but he simply asks the question “Who am I?” Noah, the narrator, is an older man re-telling a book that his wife wrote when she was first diagnosed with Alzheimer, with a note inserted in the margins saying, “Read this to me and I’ll come back to you.” Everyday Noah goes to the nursing home and reads to his wife in hope that she returns to him.
