When a specific work is exaggerated to the ridiculous. Light humor

The narrator in a non first-person novel. Shadow-author

The perspective from which the action of a novel is presented.

3rd person narrator who sees, like God, into each character's mind and understands all the action going on.

Limited Omniscient Narrator

3rd person narrator who generally reports only what one character (usually main character) sees, and who only reports the thoughts of that character.

Objective or Camera Eye Narrator

3rd person narrator who only reports on what would be visible to a camera. Does not know what the character is thinking unless the character speaks it.

First Person Narrator

Is a character in the story and tells the tale from his or her point of view. May be unreliable

Stream of Consciousness Technique

Like 1st person narrator but instead of the character telling the story, the author places the reader inside the main character's head and makes the reader privy to all of the character's thoughts.

A question that suggests an answer. It causes the listener to feel she has come up with the answer herself.

Exposes common character flaws to the cold light of humor. Attempts to improve things by pointing out people's mistakes in the hope that once exposed, such behavior will become less common. Hypocrisy, vanity, and greed. Dark humor

Suspension of Disbelief

The demand made of a theater audience to accept limitations of staging and supply the details with their imagination. The acceptance on an audience's or reader's part of the incidents of plot in a play or story.

In a tragedy, this is the weakness of character in an otherwise good (or even great) individual that ultimately leads to his demise.
