After reading the novel, you should be able to decide in which direction you’d like to take your paper.
Topics/ approaches (Focus on only one of the following, though some may overlap):
1.Analyze one of the minor characters.
2.The protagonist’s conflict, the hurdles to be overcome, and how he resolves it.
3.The function of setting to reinforce theme and characterization.
Example: Post-apartheid South Africa is a setting arguably more important than anything else in the novel.
4.What is symbolized by the opera David Lurie is writing on Byron?
5.Careful examination of one or more central scenes and its/their crucial role in plot development, resolution of conflict, and exposition of the theme.
Example: Analyze one or more scenes in which hope that change for the better is possible through a character’s remorse and subsequent action, for example, the scene in which David Lurie apologizes to the parents OR the scene in which Lucy gets raped.
