Third person is the most common point of view in narratives. The narrator in a narrative that uses the third-person point of view tells the story as an observer, describing to us scenes that are not happening to him directly, but that he knows of. A third-person omniscient point of view is one in which the author knows everything that is happening around him, including the private thoughts of the characters. On the other hand, a limited third-person point of view is one in which the narrator has full access to the mind of one character, but not of any other.
