The Professor's house

Just thought I'd put some discussion questions out there for the Professor's house. Hope these help!

  • What is the meaning/implication of the various names and titles with which each of the characters are referred to in the different situations in the novel?
  • Consider how time is manipulated/represented in this novel (through the house?)
  • What is the symbolism about the Professor's attempted suicide?
  • What is the significance of Tom's Story in the Novel (what does Tom seem to represent in the novel/for the professor)?

Don't be shy about commenting if you have any ideas/observations :o)
