Definition of word.

point of view
point of view

Point of view, a chief element in literature, is the perspective of a key participant in the complex relationship between the writer, the story's narrator, the characters within the story, and the various readers.  There are four points of view to consider:

  1. author's point of view:  the perspective of the story writer
  2. narrator's point of view:  the perspective of the storyteller
  3. character's point of view:  the perspective of a story participant
  4. reader's point of view:  the perspective of a story reader

When the phrase point of view is used without qualification, the reference likely intends the narrator's point of view.
