Point of view, as the most important aspect of the narrative structure, is the window through which the reader sees the different scenes of the story and the behavior of the characters. The author or the narrator, according to his purpose and skill, uses different methods of point of view in the narration. The present article deals with the descriptive-analytical method of studying the point of view in the tale "Fisherman and Monster" and its related narrative circles in the story collection "One Thousand and One Nights". In this way, the model of Jacques Fontaine, a contemporary semiotician, has been used. He considers the types of applied point of view in the discourse as "universal, cumulative or serial, selective, particularizing, parallel and conflicting ". Based on this, the research answers the question of which cognitive angles did the narrator use in the story of the fisherman and the monster and how? The findings of the research show that with every point of view and rotation, the author creates new form and new meaning in the story in order to have a greater impact on the structure and reach the meaning and purpose. He has used different types of
cognitive points of view based on purposefulness, but the "universal" one, due to the omniscient nature of the narrator and the use of description technique, has the highest frequency in the above-mentioned story and its narrative circles.
Keywords: : point of view, Jacques Fontaine, one thousand and one nights, Fishman and monster
