I'm answering a few questions based on Atlas Shrugged in the form of an essay, wherein I am required to discuss a particular character and relate his role to the theme of the story.

Kind of clueless. Help?

I'll assume that you have identified the theme (or a theme) of the story...

Here are some questions that might give you some ideas:

What is the character's role in the story? (How would the story be different if the character were not in it?)
How do the character's actions demonstrate the theme (or violate it)?
What are the consequences to the character of acting in accordance with the theme (or of violating it)?
How do those consequences reinforce the theme, or argue against the theme, or refine the theme and demonstrate its subtlety and nuance?
