There are multiple characteristics that define Annie Wilkes' personality, many of which bestowed terror and fright on to Paul while he was kept prisoner in her home. One attribute of hers that certainly had an effect on Paul was how she obsessed over making everything fit her idea of a perfect world, and punished Paul when he did not meet her standards. This is clearly shown in the text on page 37, when, upon Annie discovering that Paul had killed off Misery in his most recent book, she left him for fifty-one hours without any food, water, or medication. Later, she worsened his suffering upon her return, forcing Paul to burn the only copy of the manuscript of his newest planned novel all because she did not agree with the ending of his book.
This incident says and reveals a lot about the character ‘aunt addie’. For one it shows how religious she was, and that she was so religious that she put religion before her very own family. I feel like Aunt Addie, as well as the other relatives in the family (Granny etc.) have taken religion to an extreme level that is not seen much in today's society. I can infer that Aunt Addie’s extreme religious views were most likely influenced by other characters in the Wright family, like Richards granny. The fact that she was willing to beat her own nephew in front of the whole class almost makes her seem like she wanted to channel all of her angry emotions that she felt about everything going on, not just what was happening in that moment all
For those who are not familiar with the story of Helen Keller or the play 'The Miracle Worker', it recalls the life of a girl born in 1880 who falls tragically ill at the young age of two years old, consequently losing her ability to hear, speak, and see. Helen's frustration grew along
Dahl primarily uses third person limited to narrate Mrs. Foster’s transformation. In the beginning, Dahl utilizes third person omniscient to introduce the characters and their personal conflicts. The first scene we get with this type of narrator is Mrs. Foster’s fear of being late to any particular event, describing her side effect as “the annoying thing...that refused to disappear until an hour or so after...whatever it was had been safely caught” (378) . Subsequently we get Mr. Foster’s reaction to this bothersome obsession. Dahl describes Mr. Foster as someone spiteful, domineering, and vindictive, theorizing his possible scheme of schadenfreude, “it seem as though he wanted to miss the train simply to intensify the poor woman’s suffering” (379).

Received referral from my counterpart, Amy Tippet to contact the prospect. Called and talked w/ Scott about the Mariner program and in our conversation I found out he was in China Grove seeing one of his customers today about 40 miles out of San Antonio so I set in person appointment to meet with him.

Other characters that are important are Daniel, Bo and Aunt Annie. Daniel is Kate’s boyfriend, whom she is very interested in. She sees open-mindedness and a kindness soul in him, qualities, which she is lacking in herself. He reminds Kate of Matt even though she disagrees with that fact, for example she says, “But Daniel is a curious man. He shares with Matt.” (36) It is very surprising he is interested in her bitter personality and also after many times asking her to tell him about herself, but denying. He knows completely nothing of her. But, I believe he is mostly attracted to her because of her trustworthiness. Bo, the youngest sibling was only at the age of one and a half years when their parents died. But, from what I can collect
In the short story, “A Rose for Emily,” Faulkner shows the audience the impression that Emily became a lonely person due to the many turning dealings in her life. After being separated for several years from the rest of town, things changed and the new townspeople went to Miss Emily asking her to pay her fair share of taxes. Her reply was for them to see Colonel Sartoris. According to the narrator, Colonel Sartoris had been dead for about ten years. As the story goes on, she became very ill and by the time the townspeople saw her again she had a short hair and looked sorrowful. Over time, her housekeeper Tobe ran her errands for her. After some time had passed, the townspeople saw that Emily’s physical appearance has changed. The narrator mentions noticing Emily getting fat and her hair turning gray to where it eventually became salt and pepper gray.

Louise Mallard’s reaction to her husband’s passing may seem startling. Was this a woman so unhappy in her marriage that this was the response to hearing of his passing? “And yet she had loved him--sometimes. Often she had not.” In the time period of “The Story of an Hour” divorce was not considered acceptable. Louis herself struggles with her emotions.” She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray

Mary Lisbeth wasn’t my first friend to die. I had honestly thought that my father was done—or, at the least, he wouldn’t have picked her. But she had become bright and beautiful. She was like the radiance of an opium-dream, an airy and spirit-lifting vision more wildly divine than the fantasies of the slumbering souls of the daughters of Delos. She had become irresistible to the devouring of the shadow.
