Document Summary
Epilogue: a short speech at the end of a play, the end of a fable, the concluding section of a literary work. It often provides a summary of the preceding work to provide closure for the reader or to emphasize the essential themes or morals of the work (cuddon 244). Viewpoint shift: recall the various points of view from which an author may narrate a work: first person, second person and third person (omniscient, limited omniscient, dramatic omniscient). A viewpoint shift occurs when an author changes from one of those viewpoints to another in the same work. Subjectivity: the writer is primarily concerned with conveying personal experience and feeling, autobiography. Objectivity: the writer is outside of and detached from what he or she is writing about, has expelled himself or herself from it, and seems to be writing about other people.
