Personede

Personede refers to a specific method of character portrayal in narrative fiction, particularly within literature and film. It is a narrative technique that blends elements of third-person narration with the subjective experience and internal thoughts of a single character. The narrator, while technically not the character themselves, adopts the character's voice, perspective, and emotional tone. This creates a sense of intimacy and allows the reader or viewer direct access to the character's consciousness, perceptions, and biases.

Unlike pure first-person narration, where the story is told using "I," personede maintains a third-person grammatical structure, often using pronouns like "he," "she," or "they." However, the narrative is heavily filtered through the chosen character's understanding of events. The reader experiences the world as that character does, with all their limitations and interpretations. This can be used to create dramatic irony, build suspense, or foster a deeper connection with the character. The term is not as widely established as "first-person" or "third-person limited," but it is used in literary analysis to describe this specific narrative fusion.
