In “Young Goodman Brown,” the narration by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is told in third person omniscient where an all-knowing narrator not only reports the facts but may also interpret events and relate the thoughts and feelings of any character.
For example, in [paragraph 21] “As he spoke, he pointed his staff at a female figure on the path, in whom Goodman Brown recognized a very pious and exemplary dame,” it is obvious that the narration is in third person, and what makes it omniscient is the details known by the narrator such as the inside feeling of Goodman Brown which is the recognition ” Brown recognized a very pious.”
Many other similar passages with omniscient point of view can be found in the story.
