Opinions of legal system -
Higher status people (aristocracy) had sole power. No substantial evidence is required or obtained. Basically their word must be taken as proof or as true. The legal system is very random.
Absentee of law - law circulatory outside of characters and readers knowledge.
Why would the people stand by and accept or tolerate this kind of legal system? Overall there is no real order or sense of law or justice.
Narration change similar to legal system -
It is very jumpy, random, and drastic. Just as the legal system makes known their power, Radcliffe does a similar thing with the narration change; it is more direct and authoritative, she telling you what to do or what is to be done just as the legal system does; what they say goes. Total control.
Why does Radcliffe choose to construct the narration in this way? What purpose does it serve?
