Third-person, omniscient
Main article: Third-person omniscient narrative
Historically, the third-person omniscient perspective has been the most common. This is a tale told from the point of view of a storyteller who knows all the facts. The primary advantage is that this mode injects the narrator’s own perspective and reputation into the story, creating a greater sense of objectivity for the plot. The disadvantage of this mode is that it creates more distance between the audience and the story, and that no specific characters are emphasized, perhaps belittling the human thoughts and actions of the characters.
is brief description about omniscient from wikipedia:
A variation of the third-person omniscient is where the narrator is a character in the story; a small amount of the story might be then told in first person or even in the second person in which the narrator briefly addresses the audience. Third-person omniscient tends to be the most lenient about the variety of which character’s perspectives to use; in addition, the narrator’s own perspective or attitude can sometimes be inferred from the way in which he/she tells the story.
Some make the distinction between the third-person omniscient and the universal omniscient, the difference being that in universal omniscient, the narrator reveals information that the characters do not have. This is also called “Little Did He Know” writing as in “Little did he know he’d be dead by morning.” Usually, the universal omniscient enforces the idea of the narrator being unconnected to the events of the story.
