ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -In third-person narration, the narrator exists outside the events of the story, and relates the actions of the characters by referring to their names or by the third-person pronouns he, she, or they. Third-person narration can be further classified into several types: omniscient, limited, and objective.

Detailed explanation-2: -The third-person omniscient point of view allows readers to glimpse into a character’s head, hear their inner thoughts, and understand the motivations of myriad different characters-in a way that would not be possible in strictly first-person narration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Narrative point of view: The position of the narrator in relation to the story. Simply consider who your narrator is and where they are standing. If they are a character in the story, then that is 1st-person. If they are describing the story about someone else, then that is 3rd-person.

Detailed explanation-4: -Third person point of view is narrative style in which the narrator refers to all characters using the pronouns he, she, or they. An example of a sentence written in third person would be: She sat in the café waiting for her food to arrive. “What is taking so long?” she thought.
