Varying degrees
of point of view (POV) allows the writer to establish emotional distance
between the reader and the character. The distance is set in direct
relationship to the role the character plays in the story, the mood, and voice.
The POV
character takes the spotlight and has the most to lose or the highest stakes.
Every word in the scene and subsequent internal reaction is filtered through
the character’s sensory perception and life experiences.
