    You See, I See Perspective. The word comes from the Latin word perspicere and the Proto-Indo-European root per, meaning through, and the pie root 'spek,' meaning to look or observe. We use these words a lot, mainly when describing our viewpoint. For example, in Elie Weisel's memoir, called Night, we get to see and contextualize his point of view from what has happened before, during, and following the Holocaust from his eyes.

    A camera is no use without a lens, and a story is useless without a point of view. The point of view of a story is like a lens on a camera, it gives the reader the ability to look inside a world and get the perspective of a select picture. The point of view brings with it freedoms or limitations, thus affecting the reader and their comprehension of the events unfolding. Relationships between the story and the narrator are also created from the point of view, which is why narrative perspective is such an imperative instrument in the telling of a story.

I like being the odd man out and trying new things so I decided to look at the difference of perspectives which pertains to the main characters in Greenleaf, Mrs. May vs. the scrub bull and in A Good Man is Hard to Find, the grandma vs. the Misfit. The claim that I will make in Greenleaf and A Good Man is Hard to Find, is that hidden meanings in the short stories show that the protagonist and antagonist differentiate in a matter of perspective and here is why.

    The word ‘focalization’ means the perspective or the point-of-view chosen by the writer or the author to tell the story. Genette (1972) identified the three POVs as following: internal focalization/first person POV, external focalization/third person POV, and zero focalization/omniscient narration. The first person POV, which is also commonly called the ‘focaliser’ or ‘reflector,’ provides readers and viewers with the perspective of the characters involved in the story. Thus, this viewpoint also presents the character’s feelings and thoughts to the audience. In contrast, the third POV presents the viewpoint from outside of the story or from a person/narrator who is not involved in the story.
