Dombey and Son is narrated by a third person, omniscient narrator who often veers into free indirect discourse. This third person, omniscient narrator is able to describe the thoughts, words, and actions of multiple characters, switching between characters, locations, and intersecting storylines in each chapter. The narrator has a distinct perspective, though, often poking fun at characters, signaling which characters not to trust, and helping the reader build sympathy with others.
