Revenge
Initially, Fleur is so blinded by revenge she cannot think past it. She plans to get revenge on Mauser by killing him. However, when she learns he is already ill, compassion takes over her and she heals him. When she cannot bring herself to kill him, she realizes that he is not a bad man but one that is kind to her, she instead engages in an affair with him and has a child with him. Ultimately, she was unable to get revenge on him because she inherently believed an eye for an eye would not change things for the better.
Identity
Fleur renames herself to ‘Four Souls’ in a bid to honor both her mother and her quest. However, through her actions and outcomes in life, she loses sense of who she herself is. She becomes a mistress and an alcoholic and falls so far from the person she was at the beginning. Indeed, in the end, she finds herself, and loses her mother’s name of ‘Four Souls’, and becomes Fleur again, highlighting the idea that she has come full circle.
Justice
In the beginning, Fleur is haunted by the loss of her ancestral home. She is angry that a rich white man has stolen land and has built his mansion from the trees from her mother's land. She is angry at the injustice her family and her people face and so instead of waiting for something to happen, she takes matters in her own hand. Eventually, everything she does pays off and she ends up regaining her ancestral land and living her days out there, having made her own justice.
