Character Development | |
| The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Jacob matures considerably, going from a naive young man who is exploited by everyone to someone greatly respected, and Orito Aibagawa learns to let go of her (totally justified) fury at her life's injustices. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Jacob suffers a long string of humiliations, especially in Part 1 (getting smoke blown up his rectum with enough pressure to force the turd-scented gas out of his mouth being a standout moment) but his ability to tolerate it in good grace is one factor that eventually leads to the respect he deserves. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
| The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: The novel is one long example of Jacob being unrewarded (at best) and punished (at worst) for his honesty. While his integrity does eventually earn him enough respect that he is unanimously elected president of the short-lived Republic of Dejima and has a respectable tenure as Chief Resident that just means more responsibility to shoulder with little in the way of reward. | |
