Ever finished a story and realized… you probably shouldn’t have trusted the narrator? 👀 This pin breaks down the concept of unreliable narrators in a clear and simple way — what they are, the different types (the liar, the innocent, the mentally unstable, the biased storyteller), and why writers use them to create suspense and plot twists.

When readers understand why the characters struggle to communicate, the tension becomes compelling rather than irritating. Follow the Newsletter for the latest updates!
