This paper focuses on the forms of narration that do not fit the traditional definition and deserve more profound study. These types of narration have marked influences from British Imperialism that have made lasting effects on their structures. Beginning in the age of Old Imperialism and continuing throughout the present day, many groups of narrators were viewed as “less appealing” because they are not rich enough, white, or male. However, because of these power structures, atypical forms of narration become more significant as they allow these “less desirable” narrators to tell their story through the use of frames or assumed personas. Through close reading and research, connections can be made between atypical narrators and the cultural ideas of a society. These ideas result in the development of or lack of empathy when a group considers those they view as “others.”
