Außenperspektivische

Außenperspektivische refers to a narrative technique in literature and film where the story is told from a viewpoint outside of any specific character. This perspective is often omniscient, meaning the narrator knows the thoughts, feelings, and actions of all characters, as well as events happening simultaneously in different locations or at different times. It is also known as third-person omniscient narration.

This narrative approach allows for a broader scope, providing the audience with information that individual characters might not possess. It can be used to create dramatic irony, reveal hidden motivations, or offer commentary on the events unfolding. The narrator is an independent entity, distinct from the characters within the story, and can thus offer objective observations or interpretations.

In contrast to first-person perspective (told from "I") or third-person limited perspective (focusing on the thoughts and experiences of a single character), the außenperspektivische offers a comprehensive overview. This can enhance the reader's or viewer's understanding of the overall plot and the complex relationships between characters. The narrator's voice can be neutral and objective, or it can carry a distinct tone or bias, influencing how the audience perceives the story. This technique is a common tool for authors and filmmakers to shape the narrative and engage their audience.
