The unreliable narrator! The unreliable narrator is like the author's admission, right? Rhetorical question, Yes? But literary critics it is usually bypassed because it is something serious. Canterbury tales, those, Yes, mention. But there is a literary monument. And, basically, the narrator is, in cheap detective stories and movies. Agatha Christie there, "Suspicious person". My idea is that every narrator is unreliable by definition. Because who would be the kind of story not told, the story itself is one thing, but the story is quite another. Therefore, all the existing stories come from unreliable narrators. Theoretically, the narrator could rely on, turn around his story in front of us, but this is clearly impossible. And that means what? Seems like the only reliable narrator is life itself. But life itself, as the narrator, unreliable nowhere, because it gets us somewhere, then I'm putting us in situations when it is impossible to understand what will happen next. Life is the most unreliable narrator!
Unreliable narrator! Unreliable narrators are considered a device, right? Don't answer. They are. They are and they don't get a lot of literary analysis because it's a gimmick. It's a trick. I mean "Canterbury Tales" gets a shoutout because, you know, it's good but typically it's used for popcorn crime novels and thriller movies. Agatha Christie, "Usual Suspects", so on and so forth. But I'm going to argue that every narrator by its very definition is unreliable because when you tell a story there's always an essential distance between the story itself and the telling of said story, right? So therefore every story that has ever been told has an unreliable narrator. The only truly reliable narrator would be someone hypothetically telling a story that unfolds before our very eyes which is obviously very impossible. So what does that tell us? That the only truly reliable narrator is life itself. But life itself is also completely unreliable because it is constantly misdirecting and misleading us and taking us on this journey where it is literally impossible to predict where it is going to go next. Life as the ultimate unreliable narrator!

- When on a date will invite, will?
- Waiting for the right moment.
- That's reassuring. Well. Prior to the meeting.
Abby, I'm waiting for the right moment. Because when I ask, the way back will be gone. The rest of your life no one else will invite to appointment. Until the end nobody will like. Me and the rest of your life to any who will no longer be the case. I, Abby, waiting for the right moment. After I invite you, my whole life is divided into before and after. Not to miscalculate, you have to wait.
- You ever going to ask me out, Will?
- I'm just waiting for the right moment.
- That's good to know. Alright. I'll see you around.
- Abby, I'm waiting for the right moment because when I ask you out, there's not going to be any turning back for me.

I'm waiting for the right moment, Abby, because when I ask you out, it's going to be the most important moment of my life, and I just want to make sure that I get it right.
