That's true, but if nobody in the story hears the sound, then allowing the reader to hear it distances the reader from the story, and that blunts the sting.NoOne3 wrote:It's getting pretty philosophical: Does a sobbing deaf girl in the woods make a sound, if there's noone to hear it?
It could have really emotional and symbolic effect in third-person narrative. A desperate cry of sorrow nobody hears. Even her.Nekken wrote:But unless you're using a third-person fully-omniscient viewpoint (not something that I recommend), there won't be any listener to describe the sound of her voice if she's alone.
