Which point of view is used when the narrator is outside of the story and is telling the narrative

Answer 1

The point of view where the narrator is outside of the story and tells the narrative is known as the third person point of view. In third person narration, the narrator refers to characters as "he," "she," "they," or "it." There are two primary types of third person narration:

1. Third Person Omniscient: The narrator knows everything about the characters and events in the story, including the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters.

2. Third Person Limited: The narrator has a more restricted perspective, focusing on the thoughts and experiences of just one character, while describing other characters and events from that character's point of view.

Both types of third person narration keep the narrator external to the story, differing only in the level of insight provided into the characters' inner lives.
