Cry, the Beloved Country What are the motifs in Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:36 Last updated by Cat on 08 Apr 04:37
Repentance and reconciliation are a constant motif. There is much of this to go around: Absalom's guilt for killing young Jarvis; Mr. Kumalo reconciling his son's actions; Absalom's abandonment of his girlfriend and baby.
