Marele Day's The Life And Crimes Of Harry Lavender

In Marele Day’s novel ‘The Life and Crimes of Harry lavender’, it does not only examine the subversions necessary in order to address traditional conventions in society, but Day also provide an interesting distinctiveness through the use of dual narration of Harry Lavender who is successfully portrayed with an enticing monologue providing insight into the engrossing and intellectual of a criminal’s mind.

Harry Lavender is depicted as a criminal mastermind who enjoys operating his domineering power over others, arrogantly stating that he could control people’s attitude to him shown in the chillingly threatening tone, “They will remember..Oh yes they will remember. At the going down of city’s son.. in mourning they will remember”, this unrespectful manipulation of the intertextual reference of Anzac Ode highlights his extreme delusion of wanting to be remembered throughout history thus explaining his ambition to strive with absolute power ceaselessly, shaping the imperfect corrupt city where he could gain full control using ‘tentacles’ which represent authority over his subordinates solely for his vision and own ends, changing it irrevocably from the safe, innocent place of Claudia’s childhood.
