first-person perspective

First-person perspective refers to a narrative viewpoint where the story is told from the vantage of a character who uses "I" or "we." This perspective allows readers to experience events and emotions directly through the narrator's eyes, creating a personal and immersive connection. It provides insight into the narrator's thoughts, feelings, and individual experiences, making the narrative feel more intimate. However, it is limited to what the narrator knows and experiences, which can affect the depiction of events and other characters. It’s commonly used in literature, storytelling, and personal accounts to convey a subjective experience.
