Point of view: the perspective from which the story is told.

• The most obvious point of view is probably first person or "I."
• The omniscient narrator knows everything, may reveal the motivations, thoughts and feelings of the characters, and gives the reader information.
• With a limited omniscient narrator, the material is presented from the point of view of a character, in third person.
• The objective point of view presents the action and the characters' speech, without comment or emotion. The reader has to interpret them and uncover their meaning.
