Option 1: Interpret a relationship. This paper is to analyze an important relationship that develops within the novel. Key questions to think about are the following. What makes it work? What gets in the way? How does it affect or shed light on what is going on in the novel? Select characters and an angle that show some important dynamic about relationships, about the situation in Golema Mmidi, or about struggles faced by persons in similar situations: e.g., finding a spouse, challenging traditions, using power, caring for others. Choose your particular angle where you can show your thinking based on what you see in the text. For example, the way George Appleby-Smith dealt with Matenge or the relationship between Gilbert and Makhaya. Option 2: Compare two characters from the novel. Select characters who play similar roles in the work(s) and have some similar features.
