Alan Paton is giving the perspective of the old society being replaced with the new society and showing this through John and Stephen. John is the example of the anger shown in the society of the new. Stephen is the example of the old trying to keep light. He goes to Johannesburg, and is completely out of his element. John has this confidence of a old society coming into the new. However, he does not want to be known. He hides in the old, dark society. The opinion of John is the opinion of the author, he writes of the struggle the old ways are having and how the new is going well even with all the evil occurring repeatedly.
