Good Book Review About Graham Greenes The Confidential Agent (1939)

Graham Greene’s The Confidential Agent (1939)
1. What sense do we get on how D’s character is changing as he remorselessly pursues K. and the manageress in part 2, chapter 1?
D’s character change can be analyzed and evaluated from different perspectives. While pursuing Mr. K, there is a change of heart and tact in the manner in which D perceives the events that culminate into the tracking of individuals whom are seen as offenders. D becomes aggressive to a greater extent in the sense that he quickly traces the people whom he thinks are the culprits of the death of Else. One of the most intrinsic things to note is that D uses reflection from the mirror to trace the offenders and the people he believes are capable of the murder of Else.
There are two issues that D deals with and in an unprecedented rate; his behavior takes a different shape based on the prevailing circumstances. While it can be seen as though his main agenda is to revenge the death of Else, his lost credentials play a major role in igniting his anger and the way he feels about some people. D is more aggressive and ready to take on anything that can help him avenge the death of the lady and get the people behind his stolen credentials. At this point in time, his agenda is to bring down K and the manageress a factor that portrays his character as being violent and grossly inclined to perform a criminal act that may include murder.
3. How do the reactions of Else’s ‘friends’ to her death generate a sense of a world in which virtually no one is genuine?
The reactions of Else’s friend provide a broad perspective over which a number of issues can be drawn. One of the most intrinsic issues of concern is the manner in which Else friend responds to her death a factor that portrays a world that virtually no one is genuine. The revelation that Else went out with a man who was married brings into picture the inherent lack of morals that courses people to engage in acts that are otherwise improper. The life and times of Else as told by the friend is an indication of a person who was living a double life. Going out with a married man is an indication of gross misconduct in the human life. Else’s friend in her narration concerning her death elaborates inadequacies of the society where people have to struggle to validate their status in life, hence, making them engage in activities that are self-made. Such activities are only secondary as opposed to who they are in life.
8. What is the significance of the moment when D shoots at K from point blank range and yet somehow, improbably, misses? Why can’t D bring himself to shoot K dead?
The significance of the moment when D tries to shoot and misses the target in this case K is an indication of a person being driven by passion and not reason. Case in point is that the main agenda of D is to bring down K whom he thinks has a hand in some of the issues going on including the death of Else. Missing the target shows that D is not sure about his actions and is torn between fulfilling his masquerading ego or letting the natural course drive the agenda of the day in so far as the issues in the setup are concerned. D cannot bring himself to kill K because he is afraid of the consequences of his actions. On the other hand, D is cautious about what K might be capable of doing to him in return.
