Fascinating Fact:

First person uses I, Third person uses he, she, or they, an omniscient narrator can know several minds at once.

In KS3 English, you study how point of view guides a reader. By recognising who tells the story and what they know, you can judge bias, select evidence, and analyse effect.

Key Terms

Point of view: The position from which a story is told, such as first or third person.
Narrator: The voice that tells the story, either a character or an outside observer.
Omniscient: A third person voice that knows thoughts and events across several characters.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is first person point of view in literature?

First person uses I or we. The narrator is a character, so readers see only their thoughts, feelings, and limited knowledge of events.

What is the difference between third person limited and omniscient?

Third person limited follows one character’s inner life. Omniscient can enter several characters, move between scenes, and explain information they do not know.

How does point of view affect tone and reliability?

Point of view shapes language and bias. A first person voice may be unreliable, while an omniscient narrator can sound balanced, though still opinionated.
