The narrative term point of view derives from its ordinary nonliterary usage, which designates one's literal visual orientation or perspective: "From John's point of view, standing as he was on top of the mountain, the castle seemed tiny, but from my point of view at the base of the building, it was enormous." Sight is not the only sense to which the term can apply: "From Mary's point of view, the music was dreadful," "From the famished man's point of view, the smell was delicious," "The experience was too touchy-feely from Ron's point of view."
