What is the narrator’s or the speaker’s point of view? Is the narrator or speaker “all-knowing,” or omniscient?
Is the narrator or speaker limited to revealing the thoughts and feelings of one character?
How does the narrator or speaker reveal thoughts about the events or the other characters? How do the experiences or cultural background of the narrator affect his or her thoughts?
