3 rd Person Limited Third person limited point of view is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows only the thoughts and feelings of a single character, while other characters are presented only externally. Third person limited grants a writer more freedom than first person, but less than third person omniscient.

3 rd Person Limited example A Christmas Carol was 3 rd person limited because the narrator was not a character in the story.

3 rd Person Limited example All summer in one day is 3 rd person limited because the narrator is not in the story. It only uses I or me when it is quoting the people.

Conclusion 3 rd person limited is important because it allows authors to write in another point of view so others can understand. Authors may choose 3 rd person limited for a more freely exposure of word choices than in 1 st person view. Some people may understand 3 rd person limited if they do not understand other points of view.
