POINT OF VIEW

The lens through which a narrator tells a story.

POV includes four aspects: orientation, person, perspective, and access.

Narrative choices can affect or support the development of plot or theme in a work of fiction.

ORIENTATION

The orientation of a text’s narration can be “author oriented” or “character oriented;”

“author-oriented” refers to the narration by the presumed author of the story. (Ender’s Game)

“character oriented” refers to narration by a character within a story. (Huck Finn)

PERSON

The person of a narrator refers to whether the narration is first-person (I went, we went); second-person (you went); or third-person (he/she went, they went)

Rarely is a novel in 2nd person.

CHECK!

What is point of view? What is person? What is orientation?

PERSPECTIVE

The perspective of a narrator can be single, meaning only one character’s actions are narrated or followed throughout; limited omniscient/multiple, meaning many characters’ actions are followed; and omniscient.

“Ender’s Game” is limited omniscient. “Huckleberry Finn” is single. The Bible is omniscient.

ACCESS

The access of a narrator refers to how much of the characters’ inner thoughts the narrator knows;

“Objective” means that the narrator knows no inner thoughts and feelings;

“Subjective” meaning that the narrator has access to thoughts and feelings.

Objective: Antony telling a story about AshleySubjective: God
