Question

which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
most men thought dorothea bewitching when she was on horseback. she loved the fresh air and the various aspects of the country. . . . riding was an indulgence which she allowed herself in spite of conscientious qualms.
from george eliot, middlemarch
first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient

Explanation:

The passage uses third-person pronouns ("she") and reveals both external observations (how men viewed Dorothea) and her internal thoughts/feelings (her love of fresh air, her conscientious qualms about riding). This matches the definition of third person omniscient, where the narrator knows the thoughts and experiences of multiple characters (here, the men's views and Dorothea's inner state). First person uses "I/we", second person uses "you", and third person limited only reveals one character's inner perspective without external group perspectives.

Answer:

third person omniscient
