Which term refers to the perspective in which the narrator is a character telling the story?

• A. First person point of view
• B. Dramatic irony
• C. Literature
• D. Poetry

Answer: (A)

Point of view in a story refers to who is telling it and through whose eyes we experience the events. When the narrator is a character inside the story and uses I or we, the narrative is told from a first person point of view. This means we see what happens and what the narrator thinks and feels directly from that character’s perspective, which can shape how reliable or biased the account seems.

Dramatic irony, on the other hand, is about the reader knowing something that a character does not, not about who tells the story. Literature and poetry are broad categories, not specific ways of presenting a story. An easy way to spot first person is to hear the narrator say “I” or “we” as they describe their own experiences.
