What is 3rd Person Omniscient?
3rd person omniscient is a point of view (POV) used in storytelling and writing where the narrator:
- Is not a character in the story (third person: he, she, they).
- Has complete knowledge of all characters, events, thoughts, and feelings.
- Can describe what everyone is thinking and feeling , as well as events happening in multiple places at once.
- Often provides a broader perspective, sometimes including commentary or insights beyond what any one character knows.
Example of 3rd Person Omniscient:
Sarah felt nervous about the meeting. Meanwhile, across town, John was unaware of the surprise waiting for him. Little did they know, their paths were about to cross in a way that would change everything.
In this example, the narrator knows Sarah's feelings and John's situation, even though they are separate characters. If you want, I can also explain how this differs from other points of view!
