Third-Person Narration
Captions available
The idea
The glossary has no headword for third-person narration, though three of its five types are third-person. The phrase names any telling that refers to characters as he, she or they rather than as I. Limited omniscient, objective and omniscient are all third-person modes.
In practice
Three of the five are third-person.
Where people slip
The umbrella term is absent.
