How do names indicate characters’ roles in the novel? Consider both Quaker names (like Honor or Comfort) and others’ (like Belle or Donovan).
What does the novel suggest are the limits to what one should offer to one’s political commitments? Consider this question via the perspectives of different characters (for example, Jack versus Judith or Mrs. Reed versus Honor).
