You are a MasterClass. I've never commented before but I finally feel compelled to say that I recommend your channel often not only to writers and readers but to anyone who's feeling low and needs breath of fresh air because that's what your videos are. You approach your subjects and the camera/audience with such refreshing honesty, kindness, and humor- you never fail to lift my spirits. Thank you.
This is one of the kindest comments I've ever received, Leigha. I don't feel particularly worthy of it but I thank you wholeheartedly for your generosity of spirit and human kindness. I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you. ❤️😀
This was really enlightening! I have always wondered why I could feel more connected to certain characters or books than to others.... and here is the answer. Sometimes when you read you feel more or less involved, and you just can't understand why. The truth is that the mastery of style makes a difference. Thank you so much for your brilliant lessons
What a great mini lecture! I've been thinking about your patreon for a while, but I'm still not all the way through your back catalogue. I think I'll do it anyway; I love your teaching. And I always "like" your videos, and I comment whenever I can, as I've been told that it helps the algorithm. 😊
I always heard about the importance of “showing without telling” as an advice for good writing especially for want to be writers. It seems to me that “free indirect speech” can be an effective technique to do so. Am I right? Thank you Tristan for your beautiful insights in the world of literature. I always see them with great interest even if English is not my first language.
@@tristanandtheclassics6538Tristan, I have to say that I preferred the unbearded version of you. I really don’t like beards… Mustaches, though, are great 😊
@wendychampness1901 It's a tough one, Wendy. It began as an idle experiment, and I had no intention to keep it. However, my wife has become fond of it and wishes it to stay. Perhaps she will ask me to shave it off soon. Maybe when she gets the urge to move all the furniture around in the house. 😂😀❤️
A story that uses all the POV techniques you describe, and about 20 more that you don't mention, is "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingingway. Hemingway was such master of these techniques that he shows you the power of each one of them. And he does it all in 3 pages. Anyone who questions Hemingway's gifts need only analyze this story on this one issue. And you will see what a master he was.
Hi Tristan, I’ve watched so many of your videos. I keep trying to remember to give you a like, but I often forget. So thanks for the request, maybe request a like more often to remind people. Xxxx
I would say that free indirect is more specific than that. It is a technique that could be used by a third person omniscient narrator. On the other hand you could have a third person limited narrator that only knows the thoughts of one character and also uses this technique for that character, so it is not limited to omniscient.
TRISTAN. I DONT KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED BUT I CANNOT GET INTO MY PATREON. WHEN I TRY IT JUST GIVES ME WAYS TO JOIN. CAN YOU OR LUCY HELP ME? SORRY FOR BEING A PAIN. WAITING FOR CATARACT OP AND USING A MAGNIFIER.
Literally watching this while I assemble my third bookshelf in 1 year. Guess how long I’ve been watching Tristan?? 😂🙌🏼✌🏻🙏🏻📚❤️

Great video, Tristan! Also, if you ever write a novel, I’d be dying to read it!! Your writing is always amazing in the short examples you create.
Tristan, I've been known to write some. This is a technique to enhance both reading and writing skills. Thank you.

Martine found this to be very interesting and was not surprised to give it a thumbs up. She is a subscriber to this channel you see. 👍

Thank you so much Tristan
So very interesting. Thank you 😊
Loved this. Thank you Tristan. Currently reading one of your recommendations, The Return of The Native. I will be looking out for this technique. ❤❤❤.
Ooo enjoy lingering in Egdon Heath. 😀❤️
Thanks Tristan, very much appreciated, kudos from NZ.
You are welcome, Mary. Thanks so much for your support 🙏
This is a wonderfully enlightening video. Tristan, you have taught me something of real value in reading literature. Thank you very much.
Great advice! Thanks so much. By the way, the bearded look suits you very well ❤
@samanthafox3124 thank you 😊

This is a fantastic video and I look forward to more of them in this series. Thank you for your work.

Thank you Claire, I appreciate it. I'll try to remember to ask again. 😀❤️
Wonderful! Thank you!
This is so helpful. Thank you, Tristan!
Thank you! I found this very interesting!

THANKS IF YOU CAN HELP.XX
0:27 - Or really, really, really close third person as Josh Cohen calls it.
Is it the same as third person omniscient?
I would say that free indirect is more specific than that. It is a technique that could be used by a third person omniscient narrator. On the other hand you could have a third person limited narrator that only knows the thoughts of one character and also uses this technique for that character, so it is not limited to omniscient.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of irony?! I'm offended!! 😊
It'd still hilarious, and I still love it, though 🤣
