Question

What is the main difference between third person omniscient and third person limited point of view

Answer 1

In third person limited the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of ONE character. Though in third person omniscient the narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of ALL characters

Answer 2

In a literary work, third person omniscient point of view is when the narrator focuses on not just the thoughts, feelings, and actions of 1 character, but he/she focuses on these thoughts, feelings, and actions of all the characters.

Third person limited point of view is when the narrator focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and actions of one character specifically and usually focus on that character's growth and development throughout the story.
