What is the difference between omniscent point of view and limited point of view?

Answer 1

I will answer this question by relating the limited omniscient point of view to the omniscient point of view:

The omniscient point of view feature a narrator who knows all including the feelings and thoughts of all the characters and details of everything related the world of the story, even information that the character themselves are unaware of. Now the LIMITED omniscient point of view is that of a narrator who has ALL the information of only ONE specific character in the story, but does not have that knowledge of any other characters or circumstances. Therefore they are all knowledgeable (omniscient)but this knowledge is limited to one character.

Answer 2

In an omniscient point of view, the author can skip from place to place and follow different characters, and thus can reveal everything to the reader.

A limited point of view can be either 3rd of 1st person, but follows one character around the whole time, and we know only what they know, and what they feel etc...

Answer 3

A limited point of view is one which deliberately does not consider all the factors involved in arriving at an unbiased point of view.

Answer 4

A mandatory rule of linear perspective; an established, unchanging position from which an object or scene is viewed that enables the rules of linear perspective to be enacted.
