A historian's blog devoted to Shakespeare's characters
Answer:
I am not familiar with many Icelandic folk tales, so obviously these are unfamiliar to me. When I researched some Icelandic folk tales, I realized that most of them have either trolls or elves in them. This is very interesting, and I wanted to know more about why this was, so I looked it up. It seems that there are so many trolls and elves in the folk tales because they are deeply rooted in the culture of Iceland. Maybe some folk stories from around here have elves or trolls in them, but certainly not as much as the Icelandic ones. I also wonder I there are some Icelandic folk stories that do not have these common themes in them, Though there probably are. Because we can see a pattern in Icelandic folk tales, I wonder if there is a noticeable pattern in folk stories from around here, but I'll research that later.

Answer:
Unreliable
Explanation:
An unreliable narrator is the narrator of a story whose point of view is compromised, and thus the way the individual describes events unfolding in the story, cannot be trusted as an honest account of what is actually happening. It is a form of first-person narrative style. The unreliability of the narrator can be attributed to their age, their mental instability, or the fact that the narrator might be the culprit of a crime. One of the main hallmarks of the unreliable narrator is a plot twist occurring by the end of the story.
Examples of stories that use this type of narration are The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Lolita, Life of Pi, and many of Edgar Allen Poe's and Agatha Christie's stories.
