    They all present unreliable first person views of experiences filled with regrets, mistakes, contradictions, lies, and fear. Readers pity Stevens for his blindness to the subtleness of communication, but Jack is also blind to much of life’s realities, without the lovableness to pity him. Contrastingly, the unnamed narrator is hyper observant of his surroundings; hence, he uses situations to his advantage or cleverly retaliates, like when he plays along with the racist head of Oriental Studies. Unlike Stevens, the unmanned narrator and Jack have more at stake if their identities falter, due to Stevens lack of connections and his profession; additionally, the unnamed man’s life is literally always at risk in some capacity, and Jack faces a toxic spill and tries to kill a man. Plus, the unnamed man and Jack have people they love that they need to consider. Mainly, betrayal of self results from the three protagonists’ fabricated personas. Each novel closes with the narrator existing in a liminal space, where the path they will follow is unclear; correspondingly, the novels’ ends are ambiguous because life is not just black or white, but each man has the choice to change their role in life. Still, the protagonists…
