    The narrator uses a third-person omniscient point of view to provide insight into the thoughts and feelings of three main characters - Mrs. Mooney, Mr. Doran, and Polly. The narrator moves between an outside perspective of the characters and inside their consciousness to understand their personalities. This allows the reader to enter the minds of most characters and see how Mrs. Mooney, as a powerful woman, forces Mr. Doran to take responsibility for his actions towards her daughter Polly.
