Illeism
Illeism (from Latin ''ille'' meaning "he, that") is the act of referring to oneself in the third person instead of first person. It is sometimes used in literature as a stylistic device. In real-life usage, illeism can reflect a number of different stylistic intentions or involuntary circumstances. In literature Early literature such as Julius Caesar's ''Commentarii de Bello Gallico'' or Xenophon's ''Anabasis'', both ostensibly non-fictional accounts of wars led by their authors, used illeism to impart an air of objective impartiality, which included justifications of the author's actions. In this way personal bias is presented, albeit dishonestly, as objectivity. In an essay, theologian Richard B. Hays challenged earlier findings that he disagrees with: "These were the findings of one Richard B. Hays, and the newer essay treats the earlier work and earlier author at arms' length." Illeism may also be used to show idiocy, as with the character Mongo in '' Blazing Saddles'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
