Question

use the excerpt from pride and prejudice by jane austen to answer the question.which point of view is demonstrated in this passage? (1 point) second - person narrator first - person narrator third - person omniscient narrator third - person limited narrator

Explanation:

1. Analyze second - person narrator: A second - person narrator uses "you" to address the reader. The passage does not use "you" for narration, so it is not second - person.
2. Analyze first - person narrator: A first - person narrator uses "I" to tell the story from their own perspective. The narrator here is not a character in the story using "I" for their own actions/thoughts throughout (the "I" in the passage is Mr. Collins speaking, not the narrator), so it is not first - person.
3. Analyze third - person omniscient narrator: A third - person omniscient narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters. In this passage, we only get Elizabeth's near - laughter reaction and Mr. Collins' speech. We don't have access to multiple characters' inner thoughts in a way that omniscient would (omniscient would have more extensive knowledge of different characters' minds).
4. Analyze third - person limited narrator: A third - person limited narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one (or a few) characters. Here, we see Elizabeth's reaction (her near - laughter) and then Mr. Collins' speech. The narrator is limited in that we mainly get Elizabeth's reaction and then the dialogue of Mr. Collins, which fits the third - person limited perspective (focusing on Elizabeth's reaction and then presenting Mr. Collins' words). Also, the narrator uses third - person pronouns (Elizabeth, he for Mr. Collins) and has access to Elizabeth's inner state (her near - laughter) but not a wide - ranging omniscient view of all characters' thoughts.

Answer:

third - person limited narrator
