It is through the readers' perspective wheter the characters are estimable or even if their behaviour is justified. This purely objective tone appears through out all the first part of tve text. The tone in the first part is also supported by the use of native fables, parables and words which gives the story a rustic and quaint tone. It is towards the end when the author, Achebe, starts showing feelings towards the Umuofia.
