One of the prominent theorists of narratology is Gérard Genette who has offered, as many say, the best theories in this regard. The Genette's accurate and consistent opinions in the field of narratology, especially in discussions of point of view, has such capacity that one can, with the help of his pattern, analyze different literally texts and open new perspectives to them.  Using the pattern of narratology of this prominent critic, in present essay, we are going to consider point of view as an approach in Nizami's "khosrow and Shirin", and it has been compared Amir Khosrow Dehlawi's "Shirin and Khosrow" who many believe him as the greatest critic of Nizami to show the quality of Nizami's work.
