3rd Person Limited

3rd Person LimitedThird person limited point of view is a

method of storytelling in which the narrator knows only the thoughts and feelings of a single character, while other characters are presented only externally. Third person limited grants a writer more freedom than first person, but less than third person omniscient.

3rd Person Limited exampleA Christmas Carol was 3rd person limited

because the narrator was not a character in the story.

3rd Person Limited exampleAll summer in one day is 3rd person limited

because the narrator is not in the story. It only uses I or me when it is quoting the people.

Conclusion3rd person limited is important because it

allows authors to write in another point of view so others can understand. Authors may choose 3rd person limited for a more freely exposure of word choices than in 1st person view. Some people may understand 3rd person limited if they do not understand other points of view.
