first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient
Third - person omniscient point of view allows the narrator to know the thoughts and feelings of all characters. In the passage, the narrator knows Mr. Bennet's intention to visit Mr. Bingley (a thought) and also knows that Mrs. Bennet had no knowledge of the visit until the evening after (another character's state of knowledge). This shows the narrator has access to multiple characters' inner states, which is characteristic of third - person omniscient. First - person uses "I" or "we"; second - person uses "you"; third - person limited would focus on only one character's inner thoughts.
