 The first-person narrator may be the principal character or one who closely observes the principal character (see Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" or F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", each narrated by a minor character).These can be distinguished as "first person major" or "first person minor" points of view.The narrator can be the protagonist (e.g., Gulliver in "Gulliver's Travels"), someone very close to them who is privy to their thoughts and actions (Dr. Watson in Sherlock Holmes stories), or an ancillary character who has little to do with the action of the story (such as Nick Carraway in "The Great Gatsby").
