A word for it
In 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?
