Narrator vs. Focalizer: Defining Perspective

In all stories, the narrative is told from a specific point of view. This discourse is shaped by a perspective that is not always identical to the narrator; instead, the narrator may utilize a focalizer to convey the story.

It is essential to distinguish between the narrator (who speaks) and the focalizer (who sees). The point of view and the vision presented are conditioned by factors such as social status, education, and background. Consequently, a story told by a high-class character will differ significantly from one told by a servant.

The Three Facets of Focalization

Focalization is categorized into three primary facets: Perceptual, Psychological, and Ideological.

1. Perceptual Focalization

The Rise of the English Novel

The English novel became a mature and predominant form in the mid-eighteenth century. Writers such as Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding wrote for the money they earned. The earlier prose fiction was Daniel Defoe’s Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, first published in 1719.

Realism and Veracity in Early Novels

The change in opinion has been attributed to the growing presence of realism in novels. It was also the last step in the novel’s rising acceptability.

Early eighteenth-century readers of travel narratives were apt to criticize authors for making up tales rather than recording actual experiences. Realism in the novel was synonymous...

Hydropower

Hydropower utilizes the energy of water in rivers, which can be dammed to create reservoirs. These reservoirs have exit gates that lead to a turbine. The rotation of the turbine is converted into electricity. Reservoirs also serve to store water for irrigation and human consumption, and they help prevent dangerous floods.

However, hydropower has drawbacks. It can:

1. Inundate large areas of the banks.
2. Destabilize deltas (sediment that nourished these is now trapped at the bottom of the reservoir, and the sea erodes the delta).
3. Alter aquatic life.

Consequently, new hydropower plants are no longer built in many countries, and some older ones are being dismantled in more advanced nations.
