Assess students' understanding of narrative voice and focalization in 19th-century realist novels (e.g., Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy). The quiz will require identification of narrative types (authorial/omniscient, limited, free indirect discourse), analysis of passage-level focalization shifts, and concise explanation of how voice choices shape characterization, ideology, and reader alignment. Scope: close-reading of short excerpts and short analytical responses.
