THIRD-PERSON LIMITED NARRATION OR LIMITED OMNISCIENCE : Focussing a third-person narration through the eyes of a single character. A famous example of this form of narration is James Joyce’s “The Dead” (in Dubliners). A narrative can also shift among various third-person-limited narrations. (See also focalize.)

There are two types of third-person point of view: omniscient, in which the narrator knows all of the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, or limited, in which the narrator relates only their own thoughts, feelings, and knowledge about various situations and the other characters.

Third person limited gives your readers access to a character’s inner thoughts and emotions, much the same way that first-person narration does. The difference is that there’s a critical sliver of distance between the protagonist and narrator, which will change the way the main character is portrayed.

Third person limited point of view (or POV) is a narration style that gives the perspective of a single character. (“I ran toward the gate.”) Or third person, which is the author telling a story about a character.

Third Person Limited Omniscient Limited omniscient is the point of view where the author allows the reader to view the events of the story through several character’s eyes, but only one character at a time.

The third-person point of view belongs to the person (or people) being talked about. The third-person pronouns include he, him, his, himself, she, her, hers, herself, it, its, itself, they, them, their, theirs, and themselves.

The fourth person point of view is a term used for indefinite or generic referents. A common example in the English language is the word one as in “one would think that’s how it works.” This example sentence is referring to a generic someone.

fourth person (uncountable) (grammar) A variety of the third person sometimes used for indefinite referents, such as one, as in one shouldn’t do that.

A global top-down perspective. The 4th person functions as a collection of perspectives rather than a single objectivity. Commonly, “4” refers to the globe, or an outside observer (the 4th wall) — words like global, objective, truth, and omniscient come to mind.

While we all know the standard 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-person grammatical forms, the 4th-person form is neither well known nor widely used in English, and arguably it is not well defined from the perspective of English speakers. 4th-person is an indefinite referent modification of 3rd-person.

Second-person point of view is a form of writing that addresses the onlooker or reader directly. For instance, the text would read, “You went to school that morning.” Learn more about this uncommon type of storytelling and get examples of it.

“The second person POV brings the reader closer to the narrator, making the reading experience more intimate and less detached. When the narrator turns the reader into one of the characters, the story feels immediate and surrounding.”

2nd person – you control a character from the view of another character. I think Mario 64 could be considered a second person game. You control Mario and view the action through a lakitu (as seen when looking in mirrors).
