Explanation:

The limited third person form of narration is the type of narration where the story is told from the perspective of an unknown, un-involved narrator. The speaker is not part of the story nor does he/she has no relation to the characters. Also, since it is a "limited" from of narration, he/she knows the feelings or thoughts of just the main characters.

In "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, the speaker tells us about the Loisels. From his point of view, we are able to know even the desires of Mrs. Loisel and as the story progresses, even that of her husband. But we are not given any thought details of the other characters, for it is a "limited" form of narration.

the characters are fiction but they are based off of people that were reaky in that situation
