What point of view is characterized by a narrator who knows and shares every character's thoughts?
- third person omniscient
- third person limited
- second person
- first person
Omniscient means "all knowing," and the omniscient point of view is effective to use when the writer wishes to introduce irony into the story. It allows the reader to know things that the main character does not, which is the basis for dramatic irony, a device that ups the reader's involvement in the story.
