Narrative perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person (where the narrator is a character in the story), third person limited (where the narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one character), or third person omniscient (where the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters).
First-person narrator: The narrator is a character in the story, telling it from their own perspective using "I" and "me" pronouns. Third-person limited narrator: The narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one character in the story, using "he" or "she" pronouns. Omniscient narrator: The narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of all the characters in the story and can move freely between different characters' perspectives.
First-person point of view most closely reveals the narrator's feelings and thoughts, as it allows the narrator to directly express their inner thoughts and emotions. This point of view gives readers direct access to the narrator's perspective and personal experiences, allowing for a more intimate and emotional connection with the character.
Omniscent third person
First-person point of view usually provides the most information about the narrator's thoughts and feelings because it allows the reader to directly experience the narrator's inner thoughts and emotions. This perspective provides a more intimate and personal connection with the narrator, offering insights into their motivations and reactions.

A third person omniscient narrator can access the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, offering a broader view of the story. In contrast, a third person limited narrator provides insight only into the thoughts and emotions of one specific character, offering a more focused perspective.
