POINT OF VIEWIn this story in this case is a Omnicient . The author tells the story in third person We know only what the character knows and what the author allows him/her to tell us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of characters if the author chooses to reveal them to us.

THEMEIn my view the issue is fear of the people towards the truth. the fear that human beings have our intimate and revealing show as we are.
