1st Person VS 3rd Person Narrative

1st-Person Narrative:

In a nutshell, I would use the first-person narrative when I want to allow the readers to understand the situations from one point of view, which may all be affected by bias viewpoints against a particular person or situation. Also, when using 1st-person narrative, we are able to bring out a more realistic feeling of inner emotion thoughts as compared to when you are writing in 3rd-person. By describing the scene from the first person's eyes, we are also able to only capture a limited scene, thus not as effective as compared to the 3rd-person narrative in terms of plot understanding.


3rd-Person Narrative:

I would use the third-person narrative when I want to describe the characters better in terms of emotional conflicts for all the characters. Also, using 3rd-person narrative can allow us to describe almost all the elements of a story in a better way than the 1st-person narrative (e.g. settings, characterization). The best thing about using 3rd-person narrative is that the scene is not necessarily from just one person's eyes. As such, we can describe two different settings, even if the characters are not witnessing it and also provide characteristics and physical attributes for every single character.
