Key learning points: - Katherine Mansfield’s 'The Fly' is written using a third person omniscient narrator. - A third person narrator uses 'she', 'he' and 'they' rather than 'I'. - A third person narrator might focus more on one or more character’s experiences. - Using third person means that the reader often has to interpret why a character does something rather being told why. - We learn little about the character of Macey, but there are suggestions of his devotion to the boss.\n
