Point of View Info-
First Person Point of View First Person POV is a story told in the narrating character’s own voice. It uses “I” throughout, and the reader doesn’t know any more than the character does.
- Example: I was minding my own business when Mom burst in. “What’s with you?” I grumbled.
If the reader is to know that Mom is angry, it must be shown through her words and body language available to the “I” character, and not through Mom’s thoughts (unless psychic abilities are one of the narrator’s traits).
Second Person Point of View Stories told in second person are told as if telling someone else what they are doing.
- Example: You walk into the cave and hear a low rumble. “What is it?” you wonder.
While second person POV is occasionally used in literary stories, and was successful in Jay McInerney’s Bright Lights, Big City, it is generally considered to distance the reader instead of drawing them into to identify with the character. One of its common uses today is in interactive fiction, such as the “Choose Your Own Adventure” stories.
Third Person Point of View Third person is the familiar he said / she said story.
Example: He gripped the dollar bill tightly. “You can’t have it,” he told her.
Depending on the author’s choice, it can be very limited, pulling the reader into the head of the narrator, or completely omniscient, letting readers see all the characters’ thoughts.
Limited Point of View A limited POV keeps the narration to what that character can see or know. First person is obviously limited, but many third person stories are as well. Everything is seen through the narrator’s eyes, and the reader can only tell what other characters are thinking or feeling by their body language or what they say. The writer also can’t include description such as “the usual vase of flowers sat on the table,” unless the narrator knows that it is usual for flowers to be there.
Many books today are written with a limited POV, including:
The Harry Potter books by JK Rowling
- Come to Grief by Dick Francis
- One True Thing by Anna Quindlen
Omniscient Point of View An omniscient POV lets the author dip into the heads of various characters. When done well, it can be very effective, letting more characters’ thoughts, feelings, and background be shown. The disadvantage is that of a constant reminder of a constructed story, and so adds some distance between the reader and the characters.
When used by less-skilled writers, the result is often a muddled jumping-about of thoughts, creating discomfort for the reader.
Examples of stories with an omniscient POV include:
- A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
- The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende (alternates limited and omniscient)

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
A festive novel written in the early Victorian Era about a stingy, old man who was haunted by three spirits. These spirits show him the good in humankind and the need for kindness to the less fortunate. This along with Charles Dicken's other novels depicts the issues of the 1800s that can be seen today. Through A Christmas Carol, Dickens protested a greedy, uncaring, materialistic society that was starting to form as a result of the harmful, technological boom caused by the Industrial Revolution.
