The following information is about Point Of View.

Point Of View Defined

Any of several possible vantage points from which a story is told. The point of view may be omniscient, limited to that of a single character, or limited to that of several characters. And there are other possibilities. The teller may use the first person (as in Great Expectations or Wuthering Heights) or the third person (as in The Mayor of Casterbridge or A Tale of Two Cities). Faulkner's As I Lay Dying uses the point of view of all the members of the Bundren family and others as well in the first person, while in Wuthering Heights, Mr. Lockwood tells us the story that Nelly Dean tells him, a first-person narration reported by a second first-person narrator.

This definition is in context to Poetry. See more contextual defintions for Point Of View.

  • Point of View: Your story may be told in the First (I), Second (You) or Third Person (They) perspective. Further, the perspective may be Objective (without emotional implication), Subjective (of certain opinion), Omniscient (all knowing) or Limited Omniscient (limited to one character) The first person perspective is the most limiting, because the reader can only know as much as the character telling the story. Some writers work their way around this limitation by alternating between first and third person. To avoid confusion, it?s best to shift at a chapter break, rather then mid chapter.
