As Allworthy decides to take care of the child, initial insights into the characters around him are provided, including his sister, Miss Brigitta, who embodies moral virtue. The opening chapters establish an intricate social backdrop where the contrast between virtue and vice is explored through the ensuing dialogue and the actions of the characters, particularly focusing on issues surrounding legitimacy and societal perception.
