The point of view where the narrator is not involved and is not one of the active characters is called the third-person point of view.
Explanation:
- Third-person point of view : The narrator tells the story from outside any single character's perspective, using pronouns like "he," "she," or "they." The narrator is not a character in the story.
- This contrasts with:
- First-person point of view , where the narrator is a character in the story, using "I" or "we."
- Second-person point of view , which addresses the reader as "you."
Types of Third-Person Point of View:
- Third-person omniscient : The narrator knows all thoughts and feelings of every character.
- Third-person limited : The narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character.
