What point of view does Steinbeck use in The Pearl?

uses an omniscient
third-person
point of view (POV) in .The POV is

"third-person" in that the narrator seems to be on outsider looking in on the
story's
events. (Think: an outsiderthe third personobserving two peoplethe
first and second persontalk.)
And the POV is omniscient ("all knowing") in
how the narrator is able to reveal the
thoughts, actions, and perspectives of
other characterseven minor characters, such as the priest
in The
Pearlwho are not the main .

The
Pearl
uses the omniscient third-person POV to observe events at a
distance, while
occasionally closing that distance by jumping into the minds
of Kino, Juana, the doctor, etc.
Due to the narrator's lack of personality or
subjectivity, we can reasonably assume that the
narrator is providing a
trustworthy, untainted account of events within The

Pearl.
