Consistent point of view ensures coherence and clarity in writing by maintaining the same narrative perspective throughout a text, allowing readers to easily follow the story or argument. Shifts in point of view can confuse readers and disrupt the flow, making it essential to choose and adhere to a single perspective unless a deliberate change is warranted for stylistic or structural reasons.

Consistent Point Of View

Coherence and clarity

Narrative perspective, or point of view, determines the angle and perception from which a story is told, influencing how readers engage with the narrative and understand the characters and events. It shapes the emotional tone, reliability, and depth of insight into characters' thoughts and motivations, ultimately affecting the reader's interpretation and connection to the story.
