Question

which narrative point of view is shown in the passage? joy leapt in his fathers heart for his son who was quick to learn, thirsty for knowledge; he saw him growing up to become a great wise man and priest, a prince among the brahmans. bliss leapt in his mothers breast when she saw him, . . . siddhartha, strong, handsome, he who was walking on slender legs, greeting her with perfect respect. . . . but he, siddhartha, was not a source of joy for himself; he found no delight in himself. adapted from hermann hesse, siddhartha first person second person third person limited not ready yet?

Explanation:

The passage uses "he" to refer to Siddhartha and describes the feelings of his parents and his own state from an outside - observer perspective. It doesn't use "I" (first - person) or "you" (second - person). It is not third - person limited as it shows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters (father, mother, Siddhartha), which is characteristic of third - person omniscient.

Answer:

third person omniscient
