Scene Summary and Context
In *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time*, Christopher Boone presents a unique perspective influenced by his autism spectrum disorder. The narrative is structured as a first-person account, providing insight into his thought processes, perceptions, and emotional responses. Throughout the novel, Christopher demonstrates a literal interpretation of the world, often struggling with ambiguous social cues, which shapes his understanding of others. This perspective deeply influences the tone and style of the narration, highlighting themes of truth, trust, and perception. Short phrases such as 'I find people confusing' or 'I like prime numbers' exemplify how Christopher's view of the world is both factual and limited by his condition. The narrative technique involves direct narration and minimal use of metaphor, emphasizing clarity and honesty from Christopher’s point of view. His perspective offers readers insight into his internal experience, making the novel a powerful exploration of how perception shapes reality.
