In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje

Define and analyze the masterplot of social class mobility in In the Skin of A Lion by

contrasting the social class mobility of two of the following characters: Hazen Lewis, Patrick

Lewis, Caravaggio, Nicholas Temelcoff, Clara Dickens, Ambrose Small, Alice Gull, Rowland Harris.

Does Ondaatje provide a rhetorically persuasive critique of this masterplot of social class mobility

or does he show the continuing power of this masterplot?
