Wolfie, dear lad:
Yes, indeed--if you have the time and inclination to READ the material. Some of we poor slaves are really quite pushed, you know, and don't have time to read the entire soliloquy of a character that goes on for 15 paragraphs. ;-) I agree, that if you're GOING to read it, sure: it's easy to tell. Not so easy to tell if you have zero desire to read the stuff. And, depending on what's being narrated, it's not always instantly apparent that it's more narrative, either, or NOT a new speaker.
Just sayin'. Has to be READ to be sure. VERY time-consuming.
