Why is understanding individual characters perspective an important concept?
In order to understand the theme of a situation, the readers must be able to understand the concept that each character has a different perspective. This perspective controls the character's actions, motives, and point of view. The character's personality is controlled by perspective and how they address situations. Learning to relate to the perspectives of your characters makes for a much deeper meaning and understanding.
