Which point of view is used in this story? Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both. Wilbur felt sad and alone. He thought to himself, I will not be able to replace my friend.
