When analyzing the point of view of a story, a reader might ask:
How does the narrator's perspective influence the reader's understanding of the events?
This question focuses on how the chosen point of view shapes the way readers perceive characters, events, and themes within the story. Other good questions related to point of view could include:
- Whose story is being told, and why is that perspective significant?
- How might the story differ if told from another character's point of view?
- What biases or limitations does the narrator bring to the story?
These questions help to unpack the effects of the point of view on the overall narrative.
