• Point of view• 3rd person limited- it is limited to one person’s thoughts and feelings, and

follows that one person• 3rd person atomistic- tells every characters thoughts and feelings, and

follows them • 2nd person- the narrator says you a lot• 1st person- the narrator tells the story through his eyesThe Cask of Amontillado the theme is 3rd person atomistic because it tells

the side of both parties and uses names
