I'm writing a critical essay on Chocolat by Joanne Harris. I've been asked to choose a novel in which a character appears to change, outline the nature of the change and discuss how this illuminates the themes of the text.

I've chosen to do this through word choice and narrative technique, and the latter is what I'm having trouble with.

Should I write about how the book is set out in a kind of diary form?

What kind of things are appropriate to narrative technique?

Anyone who has read the book or has any ideas that could help, it would be much appreciated :D
  








Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
— Brené Brown
