4. Write a detailed note on the main character of the novel Surfacing.

The novel "Surfacing" by Canadian author Margaret Atwood features a protagonist who is never named but is referred to as the "narrator" or "she". The novel is a first-person narrative, and the narrator is the central character around whom the story revolves. In this essay, we will explore the character of the narrator and her significance in the novel. 

The narrator is a young woman who has returned to her childhood home in rural Quebec with her boyfriend and a couple of friends. Her father disappeared from the area some years before, and she has come back to search for him. The narrator is a complex character who is struggling to come to terms with her past and her present. She is haunted by memories of her childhood and her parents' troubled relationship, and she is deeply ambivalent about her own identity and her place in the world.
