The point of view in Ann Beattie's, "Janus" is an objective narrator who reports the actions of Andrea's life and obsession with the bowl. The narrator works well in this story because it does not intrude or intervene giving any opinions or telling the reader what to think about a character. The narrator leaves the audience with enough information about Andrea's relationship with the bowl and her husband so that they can come to the conclusion that Andrea is not happy with her life without literally writing it.
