Abstract:
This thesis investigates the use of voice-over narration in fictional narratives and evaluates how
this technique is often utilized when dealing with troubled, often ostracized characters. Close
readings of Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity (1944), Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange
(1971), Terrence Malick’s Badlands (1973), Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990), Sam Mendes’
American Beauty (1999), and Todd Field’s Little Children (2006), will serve as case studies in
this research.
