The Unreliable Narrator in Modernist Literature

Quick fact

Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier is considered one of the greatest modernist novels with an unreliable narrator, yet the narrator, John Dowell, himself claims he is ‘just a storyteller’—and his story is full of contradictions.

Why this is interesting

You've probably read a story where the narrator insists they're sane, but everything they say suggests otherwise. What if the storyteller you trust is actually the most unreliable part of the tale?
