What is 3rd Person Objective?
3rd person objective is a point of view used in writing and storytelling where the narrator describes the actions and dialogue of characters without revealing their inner thoughts or feelings. The narrator acts like a neutral observer, reporting only what can be seen or heard.
Key Features:
- The narrator uses third-person pronouns like he, she, they.
- The narrator does not provide access to any character’s internal thoughts or emotions.
- The focus is on observable actions and spoken words.
- It creates an unbiased, factual tone, similar to a camera recording events.
Example:
- She walked into the room and said, “Hello.” He nodded but said nothing.
Here, you only know what the characters do and say, not what they think or feel.
Usage:
- Common in journalism, objective reporting, and some types of fiction.
- Helps maintain neutrality and lets readers interpret characters’ emotions themselves.
