Point of view refers to the vantage point from which a story unfolds. “Amigo Brothers” uses an omniscient third-person narrator, allowing the story to explore the thoughts and feelings of both Antonio and Felix, as well as the various spectators to their fight. From this point of view, the author shares the inner worlds of both protagonists as they prepare psychologically to fight one another in the ring. The text contrasts and compares Felix and Antonio’s different mental strategies, as Antonio imagines facing Felix as “just another opponent with another face” (131), and Felix envisions violently attacking his friend. The third-person narration also allows the story to explore the protagonists’ individual hesitations surrounding the match, such as Antonio’s “gnawing doubt” about whether their friendship will survive or Felix’s concern that their relationship will compromise the fight. Finally, the omniscient narrator gives the reader a glimpse into the audience’s experience as they watch Felix and Antonio’s fight, illustrating the crowd’s “mute” shock at the violence of the fight and their “cry of alarm” when they believe that Felix and Antonio will continue attacking one another after the final bell.
