Cevap

Major Ali serves as an objective institutional foil whose ethical conduct underscores Chief Toje's corrupt abuse of power during Mukoro Oshevire's unjust detention.
Major Ali represents institutional authority balanced with personal ethics. By offering protection and assistance to Aku without taking selfish advantage of her, his character structurally illuminates and intensifies Chief Toje's depravity and betrayal of his fellow townsman, Mukoro Oshevire.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Major Ali's character position and actions in *The Last Duty*.
Major Ali is the military commander of Zaku who strives to remain impartial, maintain law and order, and uphold moral integrity despite the ethnic tensions surrounding the Nigerian Civil War.
Character role analysis requires evaluating how a figure's choices interact with the plot's central antagonist and protagonist.
2
Contrast Major Ali's behavior with Chief Toje's behavior towards Aku and Oshevire.
Toje exploits Oshevire's detention to sexually and economically exploit Oshevire's wife, Aku. In contrast, Major Ali acts strictly out of duty and compassion without exploiting her vulnerability.
A foil character highlights the traits of another character—Ali's restraint and honour highlight Toje's moral decay.
3
Synthesize the narrative function of Major Ali in the structural architecture of the novel.
Ali embodies the ideal, untainted execution of 'the last duty' of leadership and moral responsibility, serving as a foil to Toje's self-centered malice.
This establishes the precise thematic and structural role requested by the question.
