What are examples of effective omniscient narration in classic literature?

In my experience, there's always conflict between two entities all the time, choice-obvious, wide-narrow, depth-shallow, demand-supply, career-academics henceforth a person who defines a balance between the two colliding force, while avoiding the brute force or pressure exerted outward, is a Writer, Leo Tolstoy being one among such great Writers.

Omniscient narration, where the narrator knows the thoughts, feelings, and events of all characters, has been effectively used in classic literature to provide a comprehensive and immersive storytelling experience. Here are some notable examples: 1. "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy Tolstoy's epic novel employs omniscient narration to explore the lives of a vast array of characters across different social strata during the Napoleonic Wars. The narrator delves into the inner thoughts and motivations of characters like Pierre Bezukhov, Andrei Bolkonsky, and Natasha Rostov, while also providing detailed accounts of historical events and philosophical musings.

an omniscient narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of each character in the story. It is a common narratorial form in several genres. A related concept is that if the unreliable narrator. The narrator can be in the first or the third person with the third person being the most successful and straightforward when writing in an omniscient narratorial voice. It can be surprisingly difficult to use this narratorial form and not have a text sound too wordy or overwritten. That said it is a popular narratorial form especially in young adult texts and especially in the 'romanticy' subgenre. That is not to say it is well done, just that it is popular. Well done examples are the Sythe Trilogy and The Illuminae Files Trilogy are very well done.

Irony is a classic. No other explanation is necessary to define the necessity of using irony. The irony though is that when it fails, its the best kind.

Jane Austen's perspective on society was relevant in the 19th century as well as in the 21st century! Her analysis for each character is so accurate that it resonates with the people of the present generation as well. Unfortunately Jane Austen's time of society didn't support the idea of a woman writing, therefore i would like to advocate here on one of her critical remarks which she always receives that is Jane Austen's works need to broaden it's perspective, if a woman is not allowed to go out and mingle the way she likes to she would end up writing and expressing what she is witnessing around her.

Universal themes in classic works of literature take as their subject matter common human thoughts and emotions.Classic literature often presents unusual and interesting plots or settings.Well-developed characters are another characteristic of classic literature. And Pride and Prejudice is a reflection of it, in its subject, in its plot or setting and also its vivid subjects that hold dreams of that age, because through dreams the writer successfully shows things that hold a gap.

Dickens' world is always filled with very minute details of Victorian society. He manages to create the perfect picture which we in the present generation are able to get a glimpse of and see how that time worked. The cherry on the cake is his views on the society which paints a picture more clear.

Depth of a character with details as futile as the way they breathe makes any reader relate to them, cause readers are attentive only when they can relate.

Sundarakanda - Part of the Great Epic Ramayana I believe and vouch for this marvelous writing by great sage Valmiki. A thief turned into sage upon teachings by few ascetics. Sundarkanda especially defines the mindset of the achiever, it deals with human relations and consequences of choices we make. It also explains about, Visualisation. When lord Hanuman was tasked to find out where about the of Seeta, he first reaches Lanka in his visualisation, he visualises meeting Seeta before even starting for Lanka. Valmiki through his writing never takes the side of any character nor promotes good or bad. It's the reader's choice, the writer just presents actions and consequences of the same. Narration, dialogues, character arc they are the best.
