The Narrative Perspective

Narrative perspective refers to the vantage point from which a story is told. It determines who is sharing the story and how much they reveal about thoughts and feelings. Common perspectives include first-person (using "I" or "we"), where the narrator is a character in the story, and third-person (using "he," "she," or "they"), which can be limited to one character’s view or all-knowing. The choice of perspective influences how readers experience the story, shaping their understanding of characters and events by controlling the flow of information and emotional connection.
