Question

How do you think the novel would change if it was written in first person format? Are there advantages to using third person format as opposed to first person, and/or vice versa

Answer 1

A novel using first person vs. third person would change in a few major ways— first person allows an in-depth view into a character’s emotions and thoughts, almost as though we “are” the character. Third person does not allow this, but does create a certain sense of mystery and unknowing that lets readers experience the story from a removed perspective.
