What Is The Geometric Meaning Of Third Derivative Of A Function At A Point?

What is the function of the narrator using the third-person objective point of view?

• Answer:

  Third-person objective differs from third-person omniscient in that the narrator is emotionally distanced from the characters. When a story is written in the third-person omniscient, the narrator can -- and does -- jump into the minds of many different characters. The narrator will tell us how each character is thinking and feeling, and will explain events according to how each character would interpret them. A third-person objective narrator does not do this. A third person objective narrator remains...well...objective. The narrator does not jump into the minds of different characters, and tell us how they are thinking and feeling. The narrator does not interpret events according to how each character would view them; instead, the narrator simply describes the facts. For example, a third-person omniscient narration might go, "She and Harry went down to the store. It was cold that day, and damp, and she was chilled to the bone. As they drove, she began to wonder what life would have been like if she'd never met Harry. Harry, on the other hand, didn't feel the cold at all. He was thinking only about the argument they'd had last night. Sometimes he felt as though she did not love him as much as he loved her." The same story told through third-person objective narration might go, "She and Harry went down to the store. It was cold that day, and damp. They drove in silence, without even looking at each other, as if they were merely strangers instead of husband and wife. It was obvious even to people who didn't know them that there was no passion left in their relationship. Like many couples, it was not love that kept them together, but habit. Of course, a loveless relationship is better than no relationship at all, especially when you are sixty-something years old and have no dreams left."
