Discussion of "Neighbours" by Paul Theroux continued: (a) oral analysis of the short story; (b) pair/group written answer to one of the questions from page 11 of the Workbook copied & pasted below:
1. Describe the narrator’s attitude towards the British. Does it seem an appropriate one for a diplomat? How might it affect his judgement?
2. What role do the Scadutos play in the story? What do they tell us about the narrator, and about Wigley?
3. The night before Wigley leaves there is an ‘awful racket – boots, bangs, several screams’. What do you think is the reason for this? Revenge? Enjoyment? An attempt to provoke the narrator into a confrontation?
