Who is an "unreliable narrator"?
An unreliable narrator is a character who tells the story but whose credibility or accuracy is questionable. This narrator may distort or omit information, either intentionally or unintentionally, leading to a misleading or biased presentation of events. Their unreliability can create suspense, challenge the audience's perceptions, and add complexity to the narrative by forcing readers or viewers to critically evaluate the truth of the story being told.
