First PersonPros:– every feeling and every thought of the narrator or main protagonist are explained well- provides a very vivid and live description about the events- can make the audience put themselves in the shoes of the main character, thus making the story more immersive- easy to write
Cons:– the events are subjective because you are seeing what the character is seeing, now what is really happening- very limited perspective
Second PersonPros:– usually used in guidebooks, interactive novels, manuals, and gamebooks- the story is even more immersive as the main character is the reader, and the narrator is just telling you a story- similar to the first person, except the main character is the reader
Cons:– also very limited in narration- the events are also subjective
Third Person LimitedPros– provides a more detailed description of what is happening in the life of the main character- narrates the thoughts of more than one person, but focuses on the main character- not as limited as the previous ones
Cons:– more limited than Third Person Omniscient
Third Person OmniscientPros:– the most common type of narration/- very free and not limited- tells and describes everything- perfect for establishing a dramatic irony in the story- probably the best pov to use in novels- since the readers know everything but the characters don’t, this pov makes the story more exciting and thrilling to read
Cons:– although very descriptive, it does not focus on the thoughts and feelings of the characters as it focuses on the details of each and every event that happens in the story- hard to write because the details must be established very well or the story will be confusing
