THXXXXXX any useful info you have on the text n essay questions
Heres some to get you started. In 'Remorse' Alice says,'Let me now re-emphasize the extreme looseness of the structure of all objects?' How is this 'looseness of structure' a recurring theme throughout Oondaatje's novel?
Compare Oondaatje's presentation of the wealthy characters with those who are marginalised.How does this portrayal show us ' the gulf between the rich and the poor'?
What is the role of violence in Oondaatje's work? How is it represented? Compare ,for instance,the life of Hazen Lewis as a dynamiter and the death of Alice.
Look at the representations of art in the novel. Oondatje suggests that art can be created in the most unlikely situations-in Caravaggio's thefts, in an illegal puppet show,and in Temelcoff swinging from a bridge.How do the characters in the novel interact with art? What does it express?
