Noble Character Analysis

Noble is a young soldier of comparable rank to Bonaparte who also takes a liking to the British prisoners. His brother is a priest, so he’s a religious believer. This puts him at odds with Awkins, who needles him constantly about his belief in god and the afterlife, which he’s unable to fully defend.
