The first-person point of view is when the narrator telling the story is also a character in the story.
The difference between third-person limited point of view and third-person omniscient point of view lies in the narrator's knowledge and perspective:
-
Third-person limited point of view: The narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character, providing a more restricted perspective. The narrator describes events from that character's point of view, which creates a sense of intimacy but limits understanding of other characters’ inner thoughts.
-
Third-person omniscient point of view: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters in the story. This all-knowing perspective allows the narrator to provide a broader understanding of various characters' motivations and experiences, creating a more comprehensive view of the narrative as a whole.
