The tone of the story is gloomy and foreboding. The frustrating journey that Rinthy mounts to find her stolen child engenders understanding and sympathy. Rinthy represents goodness and purity of motive. What can be more pure or good than a mother trying to find her baby? Her brother, Culla, on the other hand represents selfishness and lack of emotion in trying to thwart her quest.
