An omniscient narrator is an all-knowing narrative voice that has access to the inner thoughts, feelings, and motivations of all characters in the story. This is distinct from a first-person narrator who participates in events, a limited third-person narrator who is restricted to one character's perspective, or an objective narrator who only reports observable actions.
