In Chapter One, Lewis uses imagery about Martin's great grandmother to indicate the persistent, driven characteristics that have extended to Martin himself. This theme of persistence will be a major force in Martin's life and by showing just a glimpse of his heritage it is easy to see that Martin gets this quality quite honestly.
