ANALYSIS: NARRATOR
POINT OF VIEW

Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and,


more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Third-Person Omniscient
The story is told by someone who's well outside of the story. Check out the very
first line:
Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in
the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows
blazed (1.1)
It's told from a detached point of view, and the source knows everything about
the characters, from how Miss Minchin feels about Sara to why Lottie is having
a tantrum to how hungry Sara and Becky are. That's pretty omniscient.

Although there are characters we never get to see inside of--most notably,
Anne, the little beggar girl. Why do you think we never get her feelings or
thoughts?
