Third-person omniscient narrator

The narrator is not part of the plot and tells the story in the third person (he, she). The narrator is all-knowing (omniscient narrator): he / she can switch from one scene to another, but also focus on a single character from time to time.

First-person narrator

The narrator tells the story from his / her point of view (I). It is a limited point of view as the reader will only know what the narrator knows. The advantage of the first person narration is that the narrator shares his / her personal experiences and secrets with the reader so that the reader feels part of the story.

This can be in the form of a) multiple internal narrators- multiple characters within the story who are aware that that they are telling the story b) multiple external narrators- multiple non-characters that tell the story
