In my passage, there is a clear sudden moment and change in the character of Said Mahran as he starts to admit to himself that he is in love with her and does not want to be alone. Throughout the novel, we have seen Said run away from this particular emotion and run towards anger. The narrative is a mix of dialogue and omniscient narration. During the narration, it reveals rhetorical questions asked from the perspective of Said Mahran, this is used to sympathise with Said in his misfortunate times. This passage is also a great demonstration of how he can manipulate the officers showing his smarts. The action of Said Mahran, returning back to the Nur's home dictates his love and the break of perspective to the reality of his loneliness. It starts to make sense that he will start to lose his thoughts as the build-up is significant with his new obsession of Nur. The pacing of this passage is fast as it shifts quickly from scene to scene while still keeping the narrative of this passage.
