Novel
Drama
The Green Mile is conveyed by first-person narrator Paul Edgecombe, the head prison guard.
The Green Mile is told in the past tense.
In prison parlance an inmate's final walk before his or her execution is known as "the last mile." The single corridor of the setting of E Block, where those waiting for execution at Cold Mountain Penitentiary are held, is covered in dingy lime green tile. E Block's guards call this area the Green Mile.
