4. Explain how one of the characters serves as a
teacher or counselor to the initiate or future hero (or
antihero, as is the case in Crime and Punishment).
The mentor archetype serves as a role model or
father/mother figure to the initiate by teaching him
or her a skill, guiding the protagonist, showing
kindness to him when others do not, training, testing
or gift giving. Similarly, a confidante is someone with
whom the protagonist connects and to whom he or
she may reveal a secret. Sometimes the confidante
is not a major character, but aides the hero in getting

past fear and sends her or him to the next stage in

the heros journey. Choose a character from the
novel that the protagonist may rely upon in some
way as a mentor and/or confidante. Explain the
significance of the relationship.
How does this
character help the protagonist on his or her quest?
5. Read chapter 19* in HTRLLaP. Discuss how
geography is significant to a character in the novel
you are reading. Foster encourages readers to think
about why the author places a character in a specific
locale that is associated with a particular kind of
weather, terrain, topography, architecture, etc. that
may suggest something else about the character
who occupies that space. Keep in mind what Foster
writes about geography, that [l]iterary geography is
typically about humans inhabiting spaces, and at the
same time the spaces inhabiting humans.
*This chapter is entitled Geography Matters. Some
editions may have it as a different chapter number, so be
sure you are referring to the title, rather than the
number!
