Point of view is the lens through which the author or character(s) make observations and narrate the story. In works of literature where the author serves as an all-knowing narrator, the point of view is referred to as "omniscient." In works where a character within the story relates the events, the character is referred to as a "first-person narrator." Another point of view involves the "naive narrator." Here, the story may be told by a major or minor character who fails to fully comprehend the significance of the events being related in the story. This point of view may also be referred to as "first-person observer."
