  1. “The general vision and viewpoint of a text can be determined by thesuccess or failure of a central character in his/her efforts to achieve fulfilment.” In the light of the above statement, compare the general vision and viewpoint inat least two textsyou have studied in your comparative course. What are the assumptions in this question? We can tell the GVVP by looking at the fate of the central character/s in these texts. Therefore, the ending is a statement, so to speak, of the GVVP. The question above expresses this idea in terms of character “fulfilment”.

  2. So…..lets consider What does fulfilment mean for…… Griet……………… The Mundys……… Rick……………….

  3. Security, A Home, Love. Shame, No future, Poverty. disgraced

  4. But……….how does all this fit in with Griet’s idea of fulfilment? Or does she even have a clear sense of what fulfilment would actually mean for her? To what extent does this help us answer the question? After all, even though in relative terms, things end pretty well for Griet, is this enough to assume a positive gvvp? Is it the outcome she wanted? Or does that really matter?

  5. Now consider the same question for the Mundys What constitutes fulfilment for them and do they achieve it? And so on for Rick et al in casablanca.
