POV (Point of View)

Point of View (POV) refers to the perspective from which a story is narrated or a situation is experienced. It determines what the audience understands and how they interpret the narrative. In literature, POV can be first-person (using "I" or "we"), third-person (using "he," "she," or "they"), or even omniscient, where the narrator knows all thoughts and events. In everyday context, POV can also describe an individual’s personal stance or attitude toward an issue. Essentially, POV shapes the way information is presented and how the audience perceives the story or situation.
