Sister Carrie, set in the early
twentieth century with newly urbanized American cities, is told by a third person
omniscient narrator. This means that the narrator is not a character in the story but is
a voice coming from outside the story and looking in and guiding the reader's attention
to people, places, events and circumstances. A third person omniscient narrator can know
and tell the reader about the thoughts, motives, emotions, perceptions, actions, and
statements of any character at any time throughout the story and so may often change the
point of view from which the narration is given, thus changing what the reader pays
attention to in the story. By contrast, a first person narrator is a character in the
story and tells about their own thoughts, motives, emotions, perceptions but can only
guess at other character's inner thoughts etc.
