Omniscient point of view is a narrative perspective where the narrator knows and reveals the thoughts, feelings, and actions of all characters in the story. It provides an all-knowing vantage point that allows readers to gain insight into multiple characters' perspectives.
Unreliable Narrator: A narrator whose credibility or truthfulness is questionable due to their limited knowledge, personal bias, or deliberate deception.
First-Person Limited: A narrative perspective where the story is told from the viewpoint of one character who has limited knowledge about other characters' thoughts and experiences.
