Plutarch is present here as a voice from the past, a measure against which readers imagine courage and memorable deeds. His name carries the weight of history, though these mentions offer no portrait of the man himself.

Plutarch appears only as an author and point of comparison, invoked in reflections on the deeds of earlier generations. Young Nicholas, in particular, is drawn to the examples of men whose lives Plutarch records and hopes to imitate them. The novel gives no account of Plutarch’s own life or appearance.
