In theory, point of public opinion reveals a perspective from which the fabricator tells the stage. Analyzing a storys point of popular opinion will turn in us with answers to dickens questions by whom and how the story is told. By the way, we can also understand attitude of the source towards his characters as well. In the racing shell of Babylon Revisited, the unmatchable who tells us this story is a thirdly- mortal narrator. To be more specific, he is a limited omniscient narrator.Firstly we notice that the narrator addresses the protagonist by name Charlie or the third person he, and also does the same with other characters. This suggests that he stands somewhere be brass the story, witnessing it without participating in it, and and then retells us what happended- that is why the narrator is called a third-person. From the objective point of suck up of a third person narrator, the story appears to be more all-round and reliable. On the other hand, the narrator in this story is omniscient.Firstly it is because he can read mind of characters. He leads us into Charlies thoughts to have a look at his absolutely different life unmatched year and a half ago and also his nostalgia of it or to see his loss when finding the Ritz bar gloomy and quiet. Charlie directed his taxi to the Avenue de lOpera, which was out of his way. however he wanted to see the blue hour spread over the magnificent facade, and imagine that the drudge horns, playing endlessly the first few bars of La Plus que Lent, were the trumpets of the Second Empire.They were windup the iron grill in front of Brentanos Book-store, and people were already at dinner behind the sheer little bourgeois hedge of Duvals. He had never eaten at a really cheap eating place in Paris. Five-course dinner, four francs fifty, eighteen cents, wine included. For some odd reason he wished that he had. As they rolled on to the Left Bank and he felt its sudden provincialism, he thought, I mishandle this city for myself. I didnt realize it, notwithstanding the days came along hotshot after other, and then two years were gone, and everything was gone, and I was gone. The narrator knows everything Charlie has in his mind. Furthermore, the narrator even knows things that Charlie is not aware of. The close valuable of those is the fact that Charlie leftfield his address for Duncan Schaeffer at the beginning of the text, and forgot about it somewhere between the Ritz bar and the Peters house. This one detail opens up the stage for Charlies tragic loss of Honoria at the end of the story. Charlie doesnt remember this detail hes left in confusion as to in effect(p) how Duncan ferreted out the Peters address while the narrator know it just because of his omniscience.In addition he is not absolutely omnicient the narrator is limited within Charlies perspective. In most of the story, the author describes the surrounding environment from Charlies view, and interprets only Charlies though ts. It is an intention of the author to dig deeply into Charlies inner life that the narrator focuses only on Charlies mental state. And this confines the narrator to be a limited narrator. However, in a small part of the story, the constant point of view is diverted to another characters perspective.In the following paragraph, the narrator tells the story from the view of Mrs. Marrion With each honor the force of her dislike became more and more apparent. She had built up all her fear of life into one wall and faced it toward him. Marion shuddered suddenly part of her saw that Charlies feet were planted on the earth now, and her own motherly feeling recognized the naturalness of his desire but she had lived for a long time with a prejudice a prejudice founded on a curious disbelief in her sisters happiness, and which, in the shock of one terrible night, had turned to hatred for him.It had all happened at a point in her life where the desperation of ill health and adverse circu mstances made it necessary for her to believe in tangible plague and a tangible villain The oddity in narration does not ruin the flow of the story by interfering with the point of view, but, on the contrary, it contributes considerably to the story because it enhances the reliability. The story would not be so dramatic if readers could not understand the distrust of Mrs. Marrion in Charlies reform. This paragraph keeps readers, who is on Charlies side at the first place, doubting about the certainty of his willingness to mend.It also reveals the innermost uncertainty to resist alcohol in the nature of Charlie himself. Such is the great effect that a change in point of view can has on the trend of the story. That is a brief portrait of the narrator who tells us the story of Babylon Revisited. other question that we are answering is how the story is narrated from his point of view. The narrator have a vitally all-important(a) role in choosing what is mentioned during the story. I t is because the world emerging in the story is filtered through the point of view of the narrator.In the case of Babylon Revisited, surrounding environment in the story is imbued with Charlies feelings and thoughts. Fitzgerald uses a technique called stream of consciousness technique to narrate this mixture of inside and outside world He left soon after dinner, but not to go home. He was curious to see Paris by night with clearer and more impertinent eyes than those of other days. He bought a strapontin for the Casino and watched Josephine Baker go through her chocolate arabesques. afterwards an hour he left and strolled toward Montmartre, up the Rue Pigalle into the Place Blanche.The rain had stopped and there were a few people in evening clothes disembarking from taxis in front of cabarets, and cocottes prowling singly or in couplings, and many Negroes. He passed a lighted door from which issued music, and stopped with the sense of familiarity it was Bricktops, where he had pa rted with so many hours and so much money. A few doors farther on he found another ancient rendezvous and incautiously put his head inside. Immediately an eager orchestra burst into sound, a pair of professional dancers leaped to their feet and a maitre dhotel swooped toward him, crying, Crowd just arriving, sir But he withdrew quickly
