Subjectivity

Subjective
A subjective point of view is something based on one’s
opinions, perspectives, beliefs, discoveries, desires, and
feelings. It has no concern with right or wrong, other than
the person’s opinion of what is right and wrong. Likewise,
subjective writing or point of view is based on the writer’s
own observation and experience. It focuses on the writer’s
personal point of view and not built on facts that others see
or things others go through.
 Difference between
Subjective and Objective
The major difference between subjective and objective is
that subjective information is based on just one person’s
feelings, assumptions, and opinions. It has a viewpoint of
that person regardless of information or arguments it offers.
Objective, on the other hand, is the information a writer or
speaker provides outside of his/her personal opinions or
feelings. It is based on facts.

Function of
Subjectivity
 Subjective approach or presentation or view point is
useful and allows the readers to get an insight into the
mind of a writer through interpretations and explication of
his characters, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Subjective
writing or point of view builds tension and provides a
greater freedom to readers to interpret actions of
individual characters. This approach givens a view that
every person sees a thing from different perspective.
