The point of view is very important when attempting to understand the plot and meaning of a story. The perspective of the narrator influences how you view what is occurring because the author is choosing what information you are given and who and how we receive it.

Depending on the point of view, the information you are given may be biased, unreliable, or showing only a small aspect of the big picture. The point of view could likewise be endearing or convince us that what is going on is true.

The point of view of a piece essentially gives the character or narrator a voice that communicates what is going on to us. A story written in a stream-of-consciousness style from a first-person point of view will give us a very different reaction to the theme than if that story was written in the third-person omniscient point of view.
