Clark is the story’s narrator. He narrates in the past tense and the first person from his perspective. However, Georgiana is the more central character, and so Clark’s narration functions as third-person narration when exposition upon Georgiana’s life and actions. Clark is aware of the general facts of Georgiana’s life, but he does not direct have access to Georgiana’s thoughts, emotions, and general interiority. Thus, both Clark and the reader must infer Georgiana’s thoughts and emotions based on Clark’s observations.
