Point of View in Fairy Tales
Point of View in Art
• In art it’s the angle of view from which a person sees the picture or scene.
• Let’s look at a photograph to determine “angle of view.”
What is beyond the
green tree in the
foreground?
New Angles in Photographs
• Point of view in a story is like the angle of a photograph.
• A different angle in a picture gives us a new way of thinking about it.
Point of View in Literature
• In literature point of view is the angle which a reader connects to the story—usually by the person who tells the story.
• In Cendrillon, we know the person telling the story is Nannin, Cendrillon’s godmother.
The Person Telling the Story
• Having a character relate the events makes a story more personal and helps the reader feel involved.
• Cendrillon’s godmother can only see things from her own understanding.
• For instance, she doesn’t know Cendrillon’s thoughts, but she can tell what Cendrillon’s feelings are from her actions and words.
What Happens When Point of View Changes?
• What if the wicked stepmum, Madame Prosperine, tells the story?
• What if Paul tells the story?
Other Point of View Choices
• How would the story change if a distant, all-knowing narrator told the story? This person is called a 3rd person narrator.
• What if you are the “I” person telling the story? How will the story change? This person is called the 1st person narrator.
You Decide!
• Would Cendrillon be a better fairy tale if another character told the story?
• Think about this as you choose the next Cinderella fairy tale to read.
