Determine Narrator's perspective

They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other's neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had "DUM" embroidered on his collar, and the other "DEE." "I suppose they've each got "TWEEDLE" round the back of the collar," she said to herself. They stood so still that she quiet forgot they were alive, and she was just looking round to see if the word "TWEEDLE" was written at the back of each collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked "DUM."

Third Person Limited

Third person, yes. What makes it limited?

The narrator is limited to one character

thought's and feelings which are Alice's.

To determine the narrator's perspective in this excerpt, we can look at the pronouns and the information provided. In this case, the pronouns used are "they," "each," "one of them," "the other," "she," and "herself." These pronouns indicate that the narrator is not a participant in the events of the story but is observing them from the outside.

The narrator provides information about the characters' appearance and actions, such as the embroidery on their collars and Alice's thoughts. However, the perspective is limited to Alice's thoughts and observations since we are only given information about what Alice sees and hears. This is known as third person limited perspective.

Therefore, the narrator's perspective in this passage is third person limited.
