Zorluk: OrtaNarrative Point of View and Perspective

Read the prose passage below:

"Nneka listened to the soft rustle of the cassava leaves outside her window. She felt a cold knot of dread tighten in her stomach, though her brother Chidi, sitting across the wooden table, assumed she was merely exhausted from the day's harvest. He had no inkling of the secret message tucked beneath her mattress, nor did he suspect that by dawn, she would be miles away from the village."

Which narrative point of view is employed in the passage above?

  1. Third-person limited narrative perspectiveCevap
  2. B
    First-person narrative perspective
  3. C
    Third-person omniscient narrative perspective
  4. D
    Second-person narrative perspective

Cevap

Third-person limited narrative perspective
The correct answer is the third-person limited narrative perspective because the passage employs third-person pronouns ('she', 'her', 'he') and restricts internal emotional and psychological access strictly to Nneka.
