The correct responses regarding how the first-person point of view affects the overall story are:
1. **It prevents the reader from knowing what the wife’s analysis of her husband’s behavior is.**
2. **It gives readers insight into the tortuous thoughts and feelings of the man condemned to die.**
The first-person point of view offers a limited perspective, allowing readers to see only what the narrator (either the wife or the man) experiences and thinks. This can enhance the emotional connection to the narrator's internal struggles while simultaneously obscuring other characters' viewpoints, such as the wife's analysis or feelings.
