🙂 Third-person limited narrator
-
The third-person limited narrator describes events from the perspective of a character, but remains in the third person.
-
Readers gain insight into the thoughts and feelings of this character, while other characters are portrayed externally.
-
Text example:
-
"He stepped out into the cool morning air. His heart beat faster, because today everything was going to be different."
-
Analysis of effect:
-
- Internal view with distance: Although readers gain access to the thoughts of a character, some distance remains since the story is told in the third person.
- Credibility: Unlike the first-person narrator, this perspective often appears more objective, as identification with the speaking voice is not as strong.
- Focus: The perspective usually strictly follows one character, which limits the readers to that character's experience.
