The point of view used in Flannery O'Connor's Collected Works is third person omniscient. The third person point of view works well in the Collected Works due to the diverse nature of the subjects and their characters. Third person omniscient allows the reader to be able to experience all of the story, giving a more detailed and thorough description of people, places and events that would not be accessible through the first person point of view. This is especially important due to the clash in cultures, social standings, and locations.
