From Obscurity to Prominence: The Evolution of The Protagonist in Markus Zusak’s “I Am the Messenger”

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to excavate the transformation of the protagonist Edward Kennedy from Markus Zusak’s I am the Messenger. The transformation of Ed Kennedy is a profound way to understand the process of the minds of young adults. It not just illustrates the journey of the character but also deals with his emotion and experience throughout the narration.  The journey from ordinariness to extraordinary purposes leads the protagonist to understand his self-worth. The collective combinations of his experience are for the study in this research paper.
