Point of view (POV) refers to the perspective from which a story is told, influencing how the events, characters, and emotions are presented to the audience. It determines whether the narrator is using a first-person POV, being a character within the story, a second-person POV, directly addressing the audience, or a third-person POV, which is outside the story. In third-person narration, it can be limited, focusing on the thoughts and experiences of one character, or omniscient, providing insight into the thoughts and feelings of all characters. The chosen point of view affects the reader’s connection to the characters and their understanding of the narrative.
