In narratology, focalisation (also focalization) is the perspective through which events in a narrative are perceived and presented to the reader. The concept was introduced by French narrative theorist Gérard Genette to replace the vaguer notion of "point of view" by separating the question of who sees (the focaliser) from who speaks (the narrator).
