The author happens to be a third person limited omniscient in the story. This means that, he
knows a lot about the main character that he created but there was a
limit on it-- the author doesn't know what the main character's feelings
deep inside his heart.
The author described the main character's
country men as scornful and sometimes doubtful but at the end of the
story the author seems to be pleased with his countrymen.
