Editor's Notes
- #7: The books are Boito and the Faust Legend: the Genesis of Mefistofele, The Vision of Richard of St. Victor and Wordsworth and the Burden of the Past.
- #8: He never wants to have a reciprocate love. Instead, he tries to quench his carnal lust and power. Lurie developed many illicit affairs as a way to exercise his power and lust.
- #10: A disciplinary committee of three senior faculties and a student representative formed to enquire the complaint. The committee is the representation of the newly formed government in Africa. Lurie hates the power change and he never wants to disown his pride before the committee.
