narrator

The narrator is the passive voice in the story. He/She/It will usually tell the reader or viewer what is going on and other little tidbits of information the main characters don't even know about.

Some narrators in famous books, movies, stories: The Brothers Karamazov, Fight Club, The Red Death.

Narrative

The inability to conceive of a happy ending.

Sometimes I think that the whole reason I met him was to discover that his wife was studying Counseling Psychology, if indeed that is the name of something a person might actually learn, with the great-grand-niece of Frida Kahlo. In the narrative of desire, perhaps what matters is not intimacy but it's counterpart: a new thought. In this sense, the lover is a necessary force, but rarely it's limit. I said: "Maybe this is the reason we met." Thinking of the yellow table, the third eye, the monkey in her arms. Dominant. I begged for an introduction, forgetting for a moment who I was. To him. For her. A cunt. Do cunts get to meet Frida Kahlo? In the flesh? Greeley, Colorado is where the slaughterhouses are. I'd like to visit that university town.

narratorium

The material that is used when the narrator won't allow you to go somewhere because it's protected by plot.

Narrator: The entrance is barred by wooden planks, the only other way is to go through this really creepy labyrinth that is filled with monsters and will advance the plot.

Character 1: Couldn't I just burn the wooden planks?

Narrator: No!

Character 2: Couldn't I just fire my laser sword and disintegrate the planks or something?

Narrator: No!

Character 1: Couldn't I just melt it with my acid crystals or run it over with my working tank or maybe just chop it in half with one of my 7 axes?

Narrator: No!

Character 1: Why not?

Narrator: Because it's protected by a layer of plot/narratorium.

You can't go there! It's sealed with narratorium

Unreliable Narrator

When in a story, the voice that speaks to the audience purposely misleads them to better position them for a surprise, double cross, or twistaroni

dude from fight club was an unreliable Narrator, much like whoever wrote this example

narrative hyperbole

Narrative hyperbole is when the narrator of a comic book says one thing while the action drawn on the pages clearly show something else. Sometimes, in the case of speech hyperbole, it is a character who says one thing, while the pages show differently. This does not mean the narrator or the character is always wrong. It only means that in the case of such conflict, the actual scenes overrule the narrator or character text.

An example of this would be the Ten-Eyed Man, who Batman and the narrator called "the most dangerous man alive", and who was actually a very lame and low-powered character.
