by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
And saying this, [Don Quixote] spurred his horse Rocinante without heeding what his squire Sancho was shouting to him, that he was attacking windmills and not giants. But he was so certain they were giants that he paid no attention to his squire Sancho’s shouts, nor did he see what they were, even though he was very close. Rather, he went on shouting: “Do not flee, cowards and vile creatures, for it’s just one knight attacking you!”

If Sancho were the narrator, the point of view would become first-person. This would allow readers to experience the events and emotions directly through Sancho's perspective, rather than solely through Don Quixote's perceptions and actions. Thus, the correct response is:
The point of view would become first-person.
