Hey ya Research Analysis Research Analysis “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” Ambrose Beierce’s An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was written in both first and third person. It is told partially in first person when the main character, Peyton Farquhar. The story was told in third person with somewhat of an outsider to the story. This outsider was not directly involved with the events that took place. It was hard to follow the story when it began, because it skipped the reason he was being hung. An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was a very good story, because it was told in different points of view, such as first and third person, and parts of limited omniscient. The reason An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge has first person narration is because some parts of the story were told by a person who was directly involved in the actions of the story. First person narration was brought into the story when Peyton Farquhar said, “They will not do that again,” “The next time they will use a charge of grape. I must keep my eye upon the gun; the smoke will apprise me-the report arrives to late; it lags behind the missile. It is a good gun.” The story is also told in third person. The story is shown with third person narration by having the narrator use he, she, and they. The narrator has full omniscience, because he tells what everyone in the story is thinking and doing. He sees through everyone’s eyes that are involved with the actions, yet he has no participation in these actions. By telling this story in third person it shows little emotion or feelings on what is happening. The story could be confusing at times with the intertwining of who was telling the story.
