The Impact of Point of View in Literature

The point of view from which a story is told can have a profound effect on how readers perceive and interpret the events and characters. First-person narrators can create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, while third-person omniscient narrators can offer a more objective and detached perspective. For example, in Toni Morrison's "Beloved," the shifting points of view allow readers to experience the trauma of slavery and its aftermath from multiple perspectives, including the haunted memories of the title character and the stoic resilience of her mother, Sethe. Similarly, the use of second-person point of view in Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" creates a sense of intimacy and immersion in the world of 1980s New York City.
