In "Marrying Absurd" by Joan Didion, how would you characterize Didion's point of view in the essay? Note her use of pronouns--- she is "one" until the middle of paragraph 4, when she appears as "I,".
In "Marrying Absurd," Joan Didion's point of view can be characterized as critical and detached. She uses pronouns such as "one" to establish a more objective perspective, but shifts to "I" in paragraph 4 to indicate her personal experiences and opinions. This transition suggests that while she is presenting a broader cultural critique of the Las Vegas wedding industry, she is also sharing her own thoughts and reactions to the subject matter. Her use of pronouns helps to emphasize the contrast between societal norms and personal feelings, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
