Here's why:
* Third-person: The story is told using "he," "she," and "they," not "I" or "we."
* Limited: We primarily see the story through the eyes of George Hadley, the father. While we get glimpses into the thoughts and feelings of other characters, such as Wendy and Peter, the majority of the story is filtered through George's perspective. We know what George is thinking and feeling, and we see the events unfold primarily through his eyes.
This point of view is crucial to the story's effectiveness. It allows Bradbury to:
* Build suspense: We see the family's situation through George's increasing concern and confusion, mirroring the reader's own growing unease.
* Highlight the dangers of technology: The story critiques the dangers of technology through George's perspective, revealing his growing fear and distrust of the "Happylife Home."
* Explore the psychological complexities of the characters: We witness the gradual shift in the children's behavior and its impact on the parents primarily through George's eyes.
By focusing on George's perspective, Bradbury creates a powerful and unsettling narrative that effectively explores the themes of parental control, technology's influence, and the dark side of human nature.
