 What is the effect that Donoghue creates by making Jack the narrator rather than to Ma, and why is that effect significant? If, for instance, one of the effects of having Jack as the narrator is that it withholds certain information from the reader, why might Donoghue want to create that effect? In other words, why use a child narrator rather than the adult victim?
If it helps you to answer the above question, you might want to consider using Jaycee Dugard’s narrative as a point of contrast to see how Donoghue’s novel works differently. You might also want to think about the way the opening of the 2015 film adaptation moves from a series of obscure images to a view of Jack and Ma in bed together, ensuring that the film viewer comprehends more of the landscape—and more quickly—than the book reader does.
