2. Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and,
more importantly, can we trust her or him?
The narrator is omniscient and he is mostly invisible to
us, meaning we don't notice him very much as we
read. Still, occasionally the narrator drops a term of
endearment, like "our little party of travelers", that
reminds us that he or she exists and demostrates a
genuine affection for the characters.
3. THE NARRATOR AND THE FEELINGS OF
CHARACTERS
The characters have internal feelings that it's most different to external
behavior and tells us the feellings of characters that can't speak. The
narrator makes constancy of that telling us the following:
-> "Toto did not really care whether he was in Kansas or the Land of Oz,
so long as Dorothy was with him; but he knew the little girl was unhappy,
and that made him unhappy too"
-> "The Scarecrow, who had expected to see the great Head Dorothy had
told him of, was much astonished; but he answered her bravely"
4. MYSTERIES BEYOND THE HISTORY
Finally, the narrator occasionally makes a comment that hints
at mysteries beyond the boundaries of the story. For
example when the people of the Emerald City are proud for
being the only city ruled by the Scarecrow, the narrator tells
us: "So far as they knew, they were quite right". By even
hinting that there could be another city, somewhere, ruled by
a different stuffed man.
