Point of view (POV) refers to the perspective from which a story is narrated or information is presented. In literature, it determines how a narrative is told and how readers perceive the characters and events. There are several common types of points of view:
1. **First Person**: The narrator is a character in the story, using pronouns like "I" or "we." This perspective provides intimate insight into the narrator's thoughts and feelings.
2. **Second Person**: The narrator addresses the reader directly using "you." This POV creates an immersive experience, making the reader feel as if they are part of the story.
3. **Third Person Limited**: The narrator is outside the story and uses pronouns like "he," "she," or "they." The perspective is limited to one character’s thoughts and experiences.
4. **Third Person Omniscient**: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story. This perspective can provide a broader view of the events and insights into multiple characters.
5. **Third Person Objective**: The narrator reports only what can be observed externally, without delving into the internal thoughts or feelings of characters.
In a broader context, point of view can also refer to an individual's perspective or opinion regarding a particular subject or issue, shaped by their experiences, beliefs, and values.
