‘Point of view’ in fiction has been a much debated concept ever since the time of Henry James, but unfortunately this term has never been defined with the required precision. As a result, there has always been some confusion in the critical discussion of this subject. Seymour Chatman (1990), however, has recently addressed himself to the difficult task of clarifying the issue.2 His theory, in my view, offers an excellent model for a systematic description of narrative ‘point of view’. By way of demonstration, I will test the effectiveness of this model through a detailed analysis of the narration of D.H. Lawrence's short story ‘The blind man’.
