    The limited point of view which The Scarlet Pimpernel employs is crucial for the protection of Percy’s identity and the perception of his heroism. The majority of the novel takes place in a limited point of view from Marguerite Blakeney’s perspective, and the description of Percy comes from her opinion of him, which is a sharp contrast to the descriptions of the Scarlet Pimpernel. While Marguerite regards the Scarlet Pimpernel as a brave and clever hero, she views her husband as unintelligent and dull, therefore removing from most people’s minds any suspicion of his being the Scarlet Pimpernel and causing the reveal of his identity to be more astounding than if Percy himself was the protagonist. Furthermore, Percy’s is not the protagonist even when he is the one leading the rescues, and this causes suspense because even though he has a situation under control, it seems that Chauvelin and his men have actually won. Percy appears a more impressive hero because he never reveals his plans until after the rescue is complete.
