Who is this David?

David Lurie is the main character of Disgrace he is a very unusual character, yet since the story is told through his eyes it gives the story a nice twist. The fact that the story is told from his views changes some very important facts about the book, like the idea of it not really bieng rape, this is one of the critical points in the book, and since we only get the information the David wants to hear we never really know some of the true events in the book. Through out the entire time David tries to maintain his complete innocence, that what he did was not wrong, and this angers the committee which causes him to be fired. His stubbornness gets him fired. David Lurie is, at heart, a good person but his numerous character flaws make it appear otherwise.
