"The Birthmark" is told in omniscient third person point of view.  “The narrator shows a strong, subjective voice, with all-knowledge, which draws attention to him and makes him a key observant-participant in the story.  The narrator truly displays omniscient knowledge about the characters and their actions and thoughts.

Examples, in no particular order:

1.  "With her whole spirit she prayed that, for a single moment, she might satisfy his highest and deepest conception."

2. "Georgiana soon began to fear his look."

3. "Aylmer saw the mark as a sign of his wife's eventual sadness, sickness(,) and death."

Explanation:

There are three main points of view for telling a story: first person (using I, We), second person (you), and third person (he, she, it, they).  The third person point of view is further divided into a) limited and b) omniscient.  These two show the depth of the knowledge about the characters displayed by the narrator.

"The Birthmark" is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne that was first published in 1843, which chronicled the perfectionist obsession of Aylmer over the birthmark found on his wife's face, Georgiana.  Before he married Georgiana he did not discover that his beautiful wife was "imperfect", at least due to the birthmark.  Immediately after, he then regarded the birthmark as a symbol of evil and sin that must be ridden of at all cost.  Eventually, he was able to get rid of the birthmark and Georgiana too as she died in the process.
