Question

Why is this story told from Feld's point of view?

A. to delay his realization
B. to emphasize his epiphany
C. to show the inner feelings of Sobel
D. to allow Feld to express his infatuation

Answer 1

The most appropriate answer is B. This story is told from Feld's point of view to emphasize his epiphany, an experience of sudden realization. Fred is the lead character or protagonist. That’s why the story is told from his perspective. He does not tell his own story but we are given a continuous insight into his thoughts, and we see events and other characters from his perspective. It allows us to empathize with Feld's struggles and hopes, and his attitude towards other characters affects our reaction to them too.

Answer 2

B. to emphasize his epiphany

Using Feld’s point of view means that he has become the readers’ object of sympathy. The readers will comprehend his feelings and thoughts since they are given the insights about him and how he sees the other characters. In order to relate better about Feld’s epiphany towards the end, his limited POV narration was used.
