Impact and legacy
- The protagonist is mostly seen through his actions and plans; he’s an everyman elevated to a near-mythic role by his methodical competence. Forsyth avoids psychological exposition, preferring to reveal character through choices.
- Secondary characters (the unfaithful spouse, the lover, and various functionaries) are sketched efficiently—enough to support the plot without distracting from the central mechanism.
