It is makes use of theories involving the structure of the literary and cinematic narrative. The narrator's literary and film is perceived as the role of the narrator is exercised in literature and film and how its passage to the language of film is altered according to the behavior of the agent of the narrative. The narrator and his role are outstanding issues from the beginning of the twentieth century. Its theirs behavior in the telling of the tale is revealed by the characteristics of the characters that are unfolded through the agent of the narrative. Wayne Booth (1983) in Rhetoric of fiction also takes into account non-formal elements in their interdependence with the formal.
