A word for it
Nov. 30th, 2008 03:11 pmIn fiction or drama, is there a term for the distance between the narrator/protagonist/author's view, and that of the audience?
I've used the word "distance" and "buffer"---but is there a literary term for this? I'm trying to describe how an author eases the audience into the viewpoint of his sketch (with a comedic Fool/Trickster character at the start), but gradually reduces this buffer until his voice/view directly confronts the audience and their beliefs.
How can I phrase this in literary terms? Buehler?

Taking a break. Honest.

But some of you born in the 70's were still watching Saturday monrning tunes.
Here's some for your Christmas Wish List:
I think the Power Ranger's bought this for Megazord when he got his AARP card, and needed something to get around the Zord retirement community.
Street Fighter Action Figures with some...interesting..live actors.
Speaking of live action--let's not. Pokemon. Eek.
Things you should never do with your Pokeballs.
Breaks over.
