Pronoun Case and Perspective with Fairies
Hi there
Thank you for your question.
Switching between “I” and “we” when narrating from a specific point of view depends on whether or not the narrator is speaking for themselves individually, then we use “I”, or representing a group in which they are a part of, then you use “we”. Consistency in perspective is important for clarity and coherence in storytelling.
In first-person narration, the narrator is a person in the story whereby they tell the story from their own point of view or perspective. Whether they are speaking about themselves using “I” or as a part of a group, using “we”, you are still getting that character’s recollection of events of what happens.
Remember that impressions, events or descriptions are coloured by that character’s opinions, personal experiences, their mood and their own perceptions of what they can see and hear.
I hope this helps to answer your question and I look forward to answering any further question you may have.
