    Some of the most prominent themes in Tim Winton’s Minimum of Two is the weight of memories and experience of loss, as characters face the challenges of confronting their problems, both past and present. Through various short stories, Winton highlights that the majority of characters who confront their problems deal more successfully with them, and are able to move on with their lives. One story which embodies this message is ‘Laps’, where Queenie successfully confronts her past failures and losses and regains her confidence after returning to her hometown. Furthermore, throughout the Nilsam Suite, we witness Jerra’s growth as he struggles to deal with his past, only moving on after confronting and accepting his father’s death in ‘Gravity’.…

    Meursault’s reactions are rarely what the reader envisions as appropriate. People feel disconnected-- disheartened and confused-- when Meursault claims his Maman’s death “doesn’t mean anything” (3). The level of indifference he feels and the actions he performs: making excuses to his boss, having lunch at Celeste’s, going to swim and a movie with Marie, all have the readers questioning Meursault’s character. This displeased feeling continues through the first half of the novel with Meursault’s uncaring and robotic behaviors of watching “families out for a walk… the local boys [going] by… the shopkeepers and the cats” (21-22). One then starts to wonder. One…

    From when the narrator is ten years old, we are shown glimpses of hope through his actions and personality. After being told by his panicked father that ‘the future is a hospital, packed with sick people, packed with hurt people’ the narrator simply wants to know how to ‘prepare’ for that. This naïve courage displayed by the innocent ten year old foreshadows the determination he will show as he grows older, whilst experiencing reoccurring trauma. After meeting Margo, the narrator is forever hopeful of securing her as a long-term partner in life. He is deeply in love with her, ‘It’s like wanting her to be here becomes so strong it almost makes me forget she’s not’ but finds it hard to put his feelings into action, anticipating the probable rejection from strong-willed and decisive Margo, ‘Silently, I ask her to marry me’.…

    At first, Griet is viewed as an innocent girl, who is compelled to work as an maid due to her father’s incapability to provide for her family. She does not want to leave her family and go to an unknown place, but she has to; in order to fulfill her family’s needs’. This is evident when Griet says to her sister, Agnes, “ ‘You know I don’t want to leave. I have to’”(7). When she arrives at the Vermeer household, she is viewed as a helper with the household chores, and a girl who must follow her master’s orders’. Later on, she starts to consider the Vermeer household as her own family. “ ’I have two families now, and they must not mix’”(53).
