More specifically, the narrator in "Harrison Bergeron" employs a third-person omniscient narrator. This means that the narrator knows everything going on in the story. The narrator even knows what the characters are thinking. For example, the narrator knows and explains the intelligence levels of George and Hazel. The narrator notes what they are thinking and when they forget things. Omniscient means "all-knowing." When Diana Moon Glampers shoots Harrison and his Empress, the narrator knows that they die before they hit the ground. The third-person omniscient narrator knows the physics, social context, outcomes, and any thoughts or emotions the characters experience. This is the most common form of narration.
