Letter 20 truly demonstrates how the epistolary novel can really tell a narrative to its reader. Here, Clarissa tells Anna about an exchange she and her mother had had, concerning her imminent marriage to Mr. Solmes. Throughout the entire letter Clarissa explicitly narrates every word that was said in the conversation to her addressee, Anna. Because she is so detailed in including each moment of this encounter in the letter, the epistolary novel does exactly what a regular narrative novel does. It is almost possible for the reader to forget that he or she is actually reading a letter and not a regular chapter. This gives credibility to the epistolary novel, for giving its readers information necessary to the plot. However, point of view must be taken into account at all times when reading these types of novels. Different characters always perceive events differently.
