The 7 Narrator Types

First Person

• 1. The Protagonist. The narrator is the hero; they’ll narrate the same way they talk, with opinions.
• 2. The Secondary Character. Someone close to the protagonist, but not the main hero.

Third Person

• Third person omniscient. This type knows all, peeking into the lives of major and minor characters, reading everyone’s thoughts.
• Third person limited. This type knows only what the main character, or characters, know. It increases suspense and intrigue because the reader only solves the mystery at the same time the characters do.
• 3. The Detached Observer. A detached third-person narrator sticks to telling the story and never inserts their own opinions.
• 4. The Commentator. This type never physically enters the story,
