Vantage Point

I do not have a specific quote to illustrate this idea I am about to discuss, for almost every line in the book would be an example. This book is written in first person point of view, and I find it rather interesting. Even though this novel is written in first person and conveyed through the eyes of Jake Barnes, I feel like the audience gets a good taste of what is going through the entire cast of character's heads as well. Most first person novels are often biased toward characters or ideas because of the singular viewpoint. Even though we do get biased remarks, especially regarding Robert, I feel the audience is also able to formulate their viewpoint on certain characters as they wish. By portraying this story using this vantage point, Hemingway was very effective in conveying his sole message to the audience.
