Analyze one of the minor characters, such as Petrus. Example: Analyze not only the chosen characters’ personality but also what role they played in advancing the overall theme of the novel. 2. The protagonist’s conflict, the hurdles to be overcome, and how he resolves it. Examples: It could be hope for change, both in South Africa and in David Lurie. OR: the disgrace David Lurie has suffered over the affair with a student and how that matches the disgrace South Africa has suffered through apartheid. 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.

Careful examination of one or more central scenes and its/their crucial role in plot development, resolution of conflict, and exposition of the theme.
