If you kept seeing one character thinking the line "I know that woman is a witch" in an epic poem, you would know that the point of view is not mainly a third-person subjective one.

Final answer:

The point of view is third-person narration in this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is known as third-person narration. The voice does not belong to a particular character in the novel, and in the extract it does not assume the perspective of any of the characters, merely describing their physical appearance, social status and relationships. Third-person narration provides a more objective and reliable narration, but there can be unreliable third-person narrators as well.
