Long Answer
1. The novel is written in a third-person perspective with limited insight into the characters’ thinking. The diversity of narrators (i.e., John, Florence, Gabriel, and Elizabeth) allow the same situation to be analyzed and discussed from different viewpoints, ultimately providing evidence for the theme of Racism and Generational Trauma. (Various parts)
2. Gabriel believes he is the “Lord’s anointed,” or the person the Lord has chosen to carry forth His word and produce a pure bloodline. As Gabriel is responsible for many hypocritical actions in the novel, his family members are skeptical of his self-proclaimed position and often mock him for it.
