However, the title of the novel suggests that the true focus is one person: Sula Peace. The relationship between her and her best friend Nel, as well as that between them and the rest of the town are examined, with inevitable questions arising, due to Sula's unconventional behaviour: to what extent is Sula considered to be evil, and in what ways is Nel dragged to the same conclusions? In a representation of two profoundly opposite characters, which at times seem to act like one self, these questions are fundamental and yet remain unanswered until the end of the novel when it emerges that in fact, rather than being evil, Sula lacks ambition but refuses social norms.
