Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss the narrative point of view in O foo, ke fano! In this article I concentrate on the first and third person narrative perspectives because they are the only two perspectives that feature in this collection. Point of view concerns the angle from which a fictional work is narrated. It is not only the relationship between the teller and the tale, it also functions to control the reader's impression of the narrative.
