: Re: How to highlight a main character among several points of view? After some time outlining quite a complex story, I came to the conclusion I need more than one point of view to tell it all.

A classic method of uniting multiple POVs is to have characters tell what happened to them (in first person) for a whole chapter. Usually they are telling their story to the main character. Example: Canterbury Tales, Frankenstein, Arabian Nights.

However, a complex story can have more than one protagonist, and might not have one MAIN protagonist. (Or if there is ONE, it might require some insight to realize that.) Examples: The Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings, War and Peace, the Foundation series, the Bible. [everyone feel free to edit and add others]
