Question

what are the two types of third person viewing?

i dont really know how to explain it but i know there are two different types.

please help.. i think one of the types starts with an O.

ten points for anyone who knows the answer!

Answer 1

-A third-person narrator who does not allow the reader an access into any character's consciousness, and who does not focus the story on any single character, but acts very much like a camera presenting us the scene as it actually 'is', is called an 'objective' third-person narrator.

-A third-person narrator who gives us access into a single character's consciousness or focuses attention on only one character, is known as the limited third-person narrator.

-Finally, a third- person narrator who either gives us access into the consciousness of more than one character or focuses attention on more than one character, is known as an omniscient third-person narrator.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Well, there's a bunch of third-persons, I'm assuming you're talking about writing though.

Anyway, there's actually three types of third-person:

Third person, limited
This is similar to first person, except for the use of third-person pronouns. The narrator knows the thoughts, feelings, and memories of the protagonist, but of no other character. It may also point out details the protagonist may not have noticed. It does nothing, casts no judgments, expresses no opinions


Third person, omniscient
This narrator offers a birds-eye view of any event, past, present, or future in story whether a character is involved or not. However, the narrator may have judgments and express opinions.


Third person, objective
This narrator is like a camera in that it has no idea what's going on in the minds of any character. It reports only facts.

I hope this helps! I tried to summerize the articles I found on Wikipedia, I also gave a link if you want to read more in-depth. ^^

Answer 3

Seems that lolabellaquin is right. Apparently there are three types or more.

It seems that the objective and omniscient types are often regarded as the same...that is, a narrator that knows more than the characters. Limited is clearly a different type, where the narrator only knows, well, a limited amount. I've never heard of the subjective type, but perhaps it is similar to the limited type.

God bless.

Answer 4

Omniscient Narrator

Answer 5

There's objective, omniscient, and limited.
But objective is less common so the other two are generally used to describe third person narrators

Answer 6

Objective and subjective. The objective third person is there non-personally, only as a witness or to understand without personal bias. The subjective viewer somehow participates, or is personally affected by the event.

Answer 7

I know one is omniscient.... but im not sure about the other.. some of the other answers on here are really dumb! i hope that helped you some.

Answer 8

Third person omniscient and third person limited.

Answer 9

objective, limited, and omniesnt.

so do i get the 10 points now or later?

Answer 10

Objective and Partial (Biased)
