The third-person perspective is a narrative viewpoint where the storyteller describes events from an outside perspective, using pronouns like "he," "she," or "they." This approach allows the narrator to present the thoughts, feelings, and actions of multiple characters, providing a broader understanding of the story. In literature, the third-person perspective can be further divided into third-person limited and third-person omniscient. In third-person limited, the narrator focuses on one character's experiences, while in third-person omniscient, the narrator knows everything about all characters and events. This versatility makes it a popular choice in storytelling.
