First-person narration - “The Pit and the Pendulum”
Second-person narration - “The Haunted Mind”
Third-person narration - “The Masque of Red Death”
Explanation:
The first-person narration is a point of view of the narrator who is also a character in the story and who tells about themselves or events from their perspective. This kind of narration is recognizable by the use of the first-person pronouns <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>. The story may be narrated by a first-person protagonist, first-person reteller, first-person witness, or first-person peripheral. An example of this type of narration is the excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's “The Pit and the Pendulum” you were given:
<em>I was sick—sick unto death with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence—the dread sentence of death—was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum. It conveyed to my soul the idea of revolution—perhaps from its association in fancy with the burr of a mill wheel. </em>
Second-person narration is a type of narrative told from the point of view of the onlooker, who is, in fact, you - the reader. This type of narration is used rarely, as it's difficult to develop characters and a story, especially a longer one, where the second person would be appropriate throughout the entire story. This type of narrative can be recognized by the use of the pronoun <em>you</em>. An example would be the excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Haunted Mind":
<em>You sink down and muffle your head in the clothes, shivering all the while, but less from bodily chill than the bare idea of a polar atmosphere. It is too cold even for the thoughts to venture abroad. You speculate on the luxury of wearing out a whole existence in bed like an oyster in its shell, content with the sluggish ecstasy of inaction, and drowsily conscious of nothing but delicious warmth such as you now feel again.</em>
Third-person narration is the most used type of narration. The narrator refers to all characters with third person (he, she, or they), which makes it clear that the narrator is an unspecified entity or uninvolved person who tells the story. There are many types of the third-person narrators, such as:
- omniscient narrator;
- limited narrator;
- subjective narrator;
- objective narrator.
An example of the third-person narration is the excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of Red Death":
<em>The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. </em>
