An omniscient narrator is a storytelling technique in which the narrator knows everything about the characters and the story. This allows them to provide insight into the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the characters, even if they are not directly involved in the scene. Synonyms for the omniscient narrator include a godlike narrator, a know-it-all narrator, an all-knowing narrator, and a narrative god. Other popular synonyms for this concept include detached narration, objective narration, and third-person omniscient narration. Regardless of the term used, this storytelling approach is a powerful tool that allows authors to delve deeply into the minds of their characters and bring their stories to life in vivid detail.
