How does everyone think about the single point of view, or at most, a different point of view can only be used in different chapters? This is not so in most Creative Writing Courses, University or Colleges. The single point of view is applicable only to first person narrative ,even then the writer has the right to introduce new ideas of writing. As T.S Eliot insisted the contemporary writer stands upon a tradition of literature but uses it in a novel way. Apart from second person narrative there is also limited third person, where the point of view is limited to two or maybe three main characters within a scene or chapter etc. The third person omniscience narrator can extend to any number of points of view, including ‘the crowd’ or ‘community’ point of view (focalization) within one chapter or even scene. So to insist on one point of view per chapter or scene and to detract from scores for doing so, is to impose one’s own preferences. There is no point of reference for such a rule of only one point of view for any scene or chapter.
I am writing this as so many stories or plots could be enriched with the use of several points of view if the writer so wishes. I hope that others will agree with this.
Examples of several points of view within a scene or chapter can be found in works by Jane Austen, Val McDermid, Dean Koontz, Robin Cook, and a brand new one out at present ‘Dracula the Undead’ to name a few.


HAPPY NEW YEAR. 'But words are things, and a small drop of

Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.

Hear! Hear! Well that's my pov anyway.

Yes I agree. Different points of view if clearly defined within a scene or chapter do make for a richer read, adding depth and interest as well as rounding out the characters. Not only does the reader gain knowledge of their physical make up and reactions, but also their personality and inner thoughts which can have a direct impact on the story even driving it further forward. But of course it depends on the story and what the writer wants.

The reader is in on the act so to say and knows more than the other character at one point or another which makes for a stronger tension and the interaction of the reader.

Maybe this was Jane Austen's strength and contemporary writers of of some of the best sellers, that she drew the reader into the scenes, into the minds of more than one character.
Happy New's Day.

Oops. Double post!! See below...

E-asy Peasy?

That's one take on it.
The writer's JOB is to engage the reader, make him want to read on.
This can be achieved in countless ways and for countless purposes: to inform, entertain, educate, protest etc.
Hackwork has nothing to do with p.o.v. and is a subjective comment anyway. Some 'elitist' people sneer at Stephen King and as a fan you would surely find this a ludicrous stance.
Sod the technique. Does the story grip you? The rest is wurst, as the Germans say.
