It could be that the lesson is to not judge people based on their appearance or background. There might also be a message about the value of hard work and determination.
Well, usually one narrator works fine for a short story. It keeps the focus clear and the narrative streamlined. However, if the story is complex or has multiple viewpoints to showcase, two or maybe three narrators could be used, but not too many or it might get confusing.
In a short story, the narrator's name can play a crucial role. It can be a tool for the author to subtly convey information about the narrator's background, social status, or family history. For instance, if the name is of a particular ethnic origin, it can give hints about the cultural context in which the narrator exists. Also, the name could be a symbol. It might represent something that is central to the story, like a virtue or a vice. If the narrator is named 'Hope', it could be related to the idea of hope being present or lacking in the events of the story.
There are first - person narrators, who tell the story from their own perspective using 'I'. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield is a first - person narrator. Second - person narrators are less common but address the reader directly as 'you'. Third - person narrators are also very popular. They can be omniscient, knowing everything about all the characters and events, like in 'Pride and Prejudice'.
One possible moral lesson could be the importance of self - knowledge. Just as the fly forgetting its name is a problem, for us humans, not knowing who we are can lead to a lot of confusion. So, we should strive to always be in touch with our true selves.
