    In this essay, I will be exploring how the role of a storyteller is unimportant in Cary Davies’ narrative. Davies presents two forms of narration.

Arthur narrates his own tale within the story and resumes the role of narrating the story his character is created in. Davies uses free indirect discourse between Arthur and the third person narrator. The metafictional narration questions the way the story is told and

Slavery is not something to be happy about. Humans treating other humans with no mercy, and making them works with no pay for extended hours. The killings made by the slaves are saddening, too. Mutilating the whites and leaving their bodies lying is inhumane. It is such a shocking story. This book was meant to teach the reader
