3rd Person POV Omniscient Limited

3rd Person POV: Omniscient Omniscient = all knowing…the narrator can see into the minds of all characters

3rd Person POV: Omniscient godlike narrator; he/she can enter character's minds and know everything that is going on, past, present, and future. May be a narrator outside the text

3rd Person POV: Omniscient Advantage: very natural technique; author is, after all, omniscient regarding his work.

3rd Person POV: Omniscient Disadvantage: not lifelike; narrator knows and tells all; is truly a convention of literature

3rd Person POV: Limited Narrator can see into ONE character’s mind.

All characters have thought privacy except ONE. 3rd Person POV: Limited All characters have thought privacy except ONE.

3rd Person POV: Limited Gives the impression that we are very close to the mind of that ONE character, though viewing it from a distance.

3rd Person POV: Limited Sometimes this narrator can be too focused or may impose his/her own opinions with no grounds.

POINT of VIEW Remember, Point of View = Who is telling the story and how much they contribute. The end.
