Be All-Seeing By Writing Third Person Omniscient


by PeggySue Wells @PeggySueWells

The Third Person Omniscient POV is told from a narrator who is all-knowing while not involved.

The cult classic, The Princess Bride, is a brilliant example of a tale told in Third Person Omniscient POV. The narrator, the grandfather, knows the actions, feelings, history, motivation, and thoughts of all the characters. Additionally, the narrator is privy to secret events and is not limited by space or time. 

Writing in Third Person Omniscient POV, the narrator shares freely about everyone and everything in the story. The narrator is not limited by space, time, or view to know anything about the workings of the tale.
