Omniscience- the author reveals the true thoughts and feelings of one or more characters.

The author of Eumenides in the Fourth FLoor Lavatory uses a third person omniscient point of view.

Ex: "He tried to think of a dozen, a hundred other things. Projects at work- but the designs kept showing flippers."

The narrator speaks in the third person while revealing the internal thoughts of the character.

Limited Omniscience- Limited omniscient is when the narrator is only "all-knowing" about a small group of people.

In "Eumenides on the Forth Floor" Howie saw some little freaky baby creature that was after him but the bystandards of the story saw a freaky man being freaked out by nothing.

Omniscient- People conceal many of their thoughts and feelings. Even if someone tells us what they're thinking of feeling, we cannot be completely certain it's the truth.

Ex. The Astronomers wife.

Dramatic Point of view - Presents only the words and actions of the characters. We're never told the characters' thoughts or feelings.

In the story "The Possibility of Evil" the feelings of Miss Strangeworth are never revealed; only when she physically writes notes down is how her character is fully revealed.

The Omniscent Point of view is when the characters don't portray their feelings or thoughts, other characters may say what they are feeling but we wouldn't know for sure.

Ex: The Trusty, Sinkler is the only one who shows his feelings. He thinks that he knows Lucy's thoughts, but we can't be sure since she doesn't reveal them

Dramatic Pov - presents only the words and actions of the characters. We’re never told the characters.
