lightcastleBrought on by a discussion on another blog, I've been thinking about narrative viewpoint and whether I'm just viewing this from a lens of too much male privilege.
Do you assume that in a story you are *meant* to empathize/identify with the main character/protagonist. Please note that I am not saying you *will*. Do you go into a story and when it becomes clear the story is about some central character, assume that you are meant to be identifying with this character somewhat? Or do you think authors/filmmakers do not intend this to be the case?
