A point of view is the narrator of the whole story. There are three types of point of views: first, second and third point of view. In first person point of view, is when one of the characters is the narrator and usually describes things using ‘I’. Second point of view is a bit challenging because it includes the reader in the story by saying ‘you’. Third person point of view is someone not included in the story and can be objective third person – narrator only shares the facts and no emotions; limited third person – includes feeling and emotions and omniscient third person – narrator partly reveals both the emotions and facts. In the choices above, c. Bierce focuses only on Farquhar and his thoughts, is the best answer.
