    The characters including the white man and Arsat as set in third person, so they are not narrating the tale. The narration is all-knowing as all the scenes are supplied in details by the narrator. But also Arsat starts telling his tale to Tuan, which would automatically make me think that it tells Arsat’s story and gives insights to his feelings.
