What does third person limited mean?

Thanks for helping !!!

Third person point of view (POV) in literature has several variations -- omniscient, limited omniscient, etc.
Point of view: http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/lit_terms/terms/2terms.html#Point%20of%20View

(First person POV is when the story is told from an "I" point of view -- in other words, the narrator is also a character in the story and is telling the story from his/her own POV.)

Third person limited is a point of view in which the reader knows, in the third person, what a single character thinks, feels, etc. Third person limited will detail the /activities/ of other characters, but not their thoughts. An example of TPL-POV is Harry Potter.

What is the question? Where are the answers given?

In any case Third Person means someone reading and/or narrating the story of someone else. If you're reading a book and you see many words such as "They" it's most likely a third person. If you read a book that says many words such as "We" it's most likely a first person.

In third person limited point of view, the narrator tells the story from an outside perspective but focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one specific character. The reader is given insight into the inner world of this character, but not of the other characters in the story. The narrative still uses pronouns like "he," "she," or "they" instead of "I." This helps create a more objective viewpoint while still allowing the reader to connect closely with the main character.

To identify whether a story is in third person limited point of view, you can look for clues within the narrative that indicate the thoughts, feelings, and perspective of only one character. The narration will be in the third person, using pronouns like "he" or "she," but the reader will only have access to the inner world of a single character. This can be done through the character's dialogue, actions, or internal monologue.

In the case of Harry Potter, for example, the story is told from a third person limited point of view through the perspective of Harry himself. While the narration may describe the actions and behaviors of other characters, the reader is only privy to Harry's thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This helps create a more intimate connection between the reader and the main character, allowing us to see the story unfold through their unique lens.

So, to determine if a story is written in third person limited point of view, pay attention to the narrative focus on one character's thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while other characters' inner worlds remain hidden from the reader.
