Struggling with A Level English Literature! HELP! :(

Basically, I've got a coursework question on the novel 'Regeneration' by Pat Barker and I've got to decide on my coursework question. I want to do a question on Billy Prior as I feel there is alot to write about him and he is the most interesting character within the novel..

I can't decide between the following questions;

- How does Barker use the character of Prior to portray the themes of pride and emasculation?
- How does Barker portray Prior's fear of emasculation?
OR
- How do the characters of Sassoon and Prior differ?

PLEASE HELP.

I would phrase it differently, such as "Explore the ways in which Barker portrays pride and emasculation" or "Evaluate the ways in which the protagonist in 'Regeneration' is used to present pride and emasculation", or even, "Explore the significance of Billy Prior in 'Regeneration' by Pat Barker".
