Third Person Ominiscient The short story “Story of an Hour”
was written in the point of view of third person omniscient. The story is seen through the eyes of a spectator that knows all of the people. The story uses the names of the characters and words like she, her, he and they.
![Page 23: The Plot](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568161d8550346895dd1dedc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Third Person Omniscient
Reading the story through all knowing point of view, lets you understand the protagonist, Mrs. Mallard and the Antagonist, her sister Josephine, in a more in depth way. You get to understand what they are feeling and read what they are saying by just watching them.
![Page 24: The Plot](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070421/568161d8550346895dd1dedc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Another point of view
If The Story of an Hour would have been written in a different point of view such as first person through the eyes of Louise or Josephine, you would understand that one character in great detail and the others through their eyes.

Imagery
“She could see in the open square before her house the tops of the trees that were all a quiver with the new spring of life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.”

Echo Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away”
In this song the main character is happy that her father is dead in a tornado because of what an awful man he was, much like how Mrs. Mallard was happy that her husband was dead.
