12019-11-14T13:27:08-08:00Narrative of The Brain Drawing the Bullet5How the Narrative of The Brain Drawing the Bullet Relates to the Themeplain2019-11-18T16:04:07-08:00 The narrative of "The Brain Drawing the Bullet" has several occurrences where characters are mistreated, at least, in their opinion. The most prevalent example of this is the narrator who, by the end of the story, feels as though he is being unfairly accused of a crime. The unreliability of the narrator overshadows the actual context of the murder, and turned a situation in which the narrator is the guilty party into one in which he is the victim.
The image above is a screenshot from an iteration of the editorial shows that the narrator thinks that the stories surrounding him are absurd and shine a negative light on him. His unreliability throughout the narrative shifts from the action of killing his wife toward the outcome in which he believes he is unjustly criticized and prematurely rendered guilty for a crime that wasn't his fault.
Another character who is mistreated shown through the narrative is the narrator's wife Joan. Joan's mistreatment comes as a direct implication of the narrator's unreliability and unwillingness to accept blame for her murder. The narrative inversely portrays Joan as the person at fault for her murder while making the narrator innocent. Unable to defend herself and pictured as the guilty party, Joan's portrayal in the narrative highlights how she is a mistreated character.
