Character Complexity:
Colin Singleton: What Colin wants is to be a genius, not just a washed up, has been prodigy.
Hassan Harbish: Hassan is real easy going and goes with the flow and loves helping people.
Lindsey Lee Wells: Lindsey loves her life in Gutshot, Tennessee and wants to live there for the rest of her life until TOC (the other colin) cheats on her.
Themes:
The main theme that has appeared in the book is Recognition. Readers find out that Colin wants recognition and to be a well-known genius. Lindsey also wants some lasting presence as well. The third part of the book contributing to recognition is the gravestone of Archduke Franz Ferdinand because I have now realized that the grave is actually Lindsey's grandfather. He wanted to be remembered so he requested for that name to be on his gravestone.
Structure:
One element of structure in An Abundance of Katherines is that it is written in third-person. This is different because most of John Green's books are written in the first-person. Another element of structure is the use of footnotes. He uses footnotes throughout the book to explain things to the reader. The third and final structure is the great use of dialogue. John Green uses a lot of dialogue in this novel.
