In the novel, a new name is connected with the notion of being “twice-born”. Another term for “twice-born” is reborn – a word often used in connection to being baptized.

who receives a new name. What does their first name signify and then what does their second name signify? How do the changes connect to the characters and their stories in the novel?What do you think is significant about who renames each character? Could it be argued that their first name and their “re-born” name each represent different character archetypes?

thank you for the help xx
