Third-person narration is a storytelling technique where the narrator is not a character in the story but an outside observer. This type of narration can provide a broader perspective on the events and characters, allowing readers to understand multiple viewpoints. The narrator uses pronouns like "he," "she," or "they" to describe the actions and thoughts of the characters. There are different types of third-person narration, including third-person limited and third-person omniscient. In third-person limited, the narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one character, while in third-person omniscient, the narrator knows everything about all characters and events. This flexibility makes third-person narration a popular choice in literature.
