The point of view used in the passage is third person. The narrator refers to Esther in the third person ("This is Esther, sir") and describes the actions and dialogue of other characters without using "I" or "you."
Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
“This,” said my godmother undertone, “is the child.” then she said, and her naturally stern way of speaking, “ This is Esther, sir.” The gentleman put up his eyeglasses to look at me, and said, “Come here, my dear!” he shook hands with me, and asked me to take off my bonnet - looking at me all the while.
From Charles Dickens, Bleak House
