I think Said is a bit of an anti-hero. Said is the protagonist of the story. He wishes to reunite with his daughter and exact vengeance on his ex-wife and ex-colleague after being thrown in prison for 4 years under thievery charges. He faces an uphill climb where his community has been turned against him and he has very few to turn to. At some point it seems as though, in order for him to survive, he needs to return to his previous life of burglary. Seeing no hope in his path, he is placed in front of many difficult choices that need to be made. He makes mistakes on the way, but his story is absolute.
