naratorului

Naratorul is the Romanian term for the voice or persona that tells a story. Naratorului is the genitive and dative singular form of naratorul, used to express possession (the narrator’s) or to mark the indirect object in a sentence. This morphological form reflects Romanian noun declension with the definite article attached to the noun.

In grammatical use, naratorului appears in phrases that attribute something to the narrator or place actions in relation to the narrator. Examples include cuvântul naratorului (the narrator’s words), perspectiva naratorului (the narrator’s perspective), and deznodământul naratorului (the narrator’s ending). The form also appears in more complex constructions within scholarly prose, where analyses refer to the narrator’s reliability, point of view, or stylistic choices as naratorului’s perspective or voice.

In literary analysis, the narrator is a central concept independent of the author. Types of narrators discussed in Romanian criticism include naratorul la persoana I (first-person narrator), naratorul la persoana a treia (third-person narrator), and naratorul omniscient sau limitat. The genitive form naratorului frequently appears in criticism and description to discuss aspects tied to the narrator, such as voice, reliability, and authority within the text. While naratorului denotes grammatical relationship, it is also a useful tool for tracing how the narrative perspective shapes the reader’s interpretation.
