Omniscient Point of View

Through the omniscient point of view given to us in the story  Storyteller  we can see how everyone character feels and mainly the aunt and the bachelor. With the omniscient the author is able to create a satire because it shows how both main characters are feeling and how they react to what the other person does. An example form the book would be when the kids asked the bachelor why the prince's garden had pigs in them. At first the aunt thought that the bachelor like her, couldn't answer the question with a pleasing answer. However the bachelor answers the children with a miracle of an answer which shocked the aunt and knocked the grin off of her face. The kids were pleased by his answer and also loved his story in the end, this made the aunt very anger and made the story funny. 

If the story was told by only one point of view, the aunt's. The story would be very different and also more bias toward the bachelor being a bad man. The aunt would probably twist the story's details, she would leave out the part where the children get interested in the bachelor's story. Instead of the bachelor winning the children's heart she would probably state that the children quietly listened to her story and occasionally asked questions about it to gain knowledge. It makes the aunt seem to be more useful and a better teacher for the children. She would also say that the bachelor's story surprised the children in an unpleasant way and that the bachelor corrupted their minds with murder and evil things. This would result in a totally different story and no longer be a satire. 

On the other hand if the bachelor was to tell the story he would probably not notice the facial expressions on the aunts face which wouldn't make it funny to the readers. The whole action and reaction between the aunt and the bachelor makes the story funny and a satire. With the bachelor being the narrator he would probably exaggerate the truth and make it seem as if the aunt was the evil "stepmother" and that the bachelor was the savior of the day, pulling the children out of a boring world. He would still tell the story the same but he would make it so that the children loved him even more for his horribly good story about a horribly good girl. He would also make the aunt seem more powerless than she already is and describe her as a weak woman torturing the kids with boring stories.  This would then also ruin the satire meant to be shown by the author.
