Homonym: POV (Perspective)
POV, or "point of view," refers to the perspective from which a story is told. It determines how much the reader knows about the characters' thoughts and feelings. Common types of POV include first-person, where the narrator uses "I," and third-person, where the narrator uses "he," "she," or "they." Each type offers a different level of intimacy and insight into the characters.
In literature, POV can significantly affect the narrative's tone and style. For example, in a first-person POV, readers may feel a closer connection to the narrator, while a third-person POV can provide a broader understanding of multiple characters and events.
