Louisa is a minor character in the book Trouble by Gary D. Schmidt. Although she doesn’t have a main part in the story you get many mixed feeling from her. Louisa has mixed feelings on what happened to her brother, Franklin. “And as Henry watched, Chay looked straight at Louisa-who had also looked up and who was staring at him, her arms so tight around herself that she looked as if she was trying to crush her own heart(81).” As Chay walks out of the courtroom Louisa looks at him in an intense way.

Contrastingly, Tante Lou infantilizes the primary male figure in her life, Grant. Perhaps by speaking to and treating him as a boy, she can keep him. Despite their differences, both characters appear to hold this conviction: “…each time a male child is born, they hope he will be the one to change this vicious circle–which he never does” (167).

Concerning her love affairs, it must be mentioned why she got involved in so many relationships, even with a seventeen-year-old student, resulting in the loss of her good reputation and dismissal from a high school. The reason is simple: she has longed for happiness and love. She has been trying to find another man to be happy. She herself describes it: „After the death of Allan - intimacies with strangers was all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with.“ (Williams 118). However, when she comes to her sister Stella and her husband Stanley, she keeps lying both to herself and to them. She pretends to be nothing but a respectable and honourable woman. She tries to persuade them that she is flawless, although her pretentious refinement looks

She gains this confidence on the journey she takes to stop Will from making his decision to commit assisted suicide, to show him life is worth living. In the story the following quote shows how change can be good in rediscovering yourself, “The thing about being catapulted into a whole new life—or at least, shoved up so hard against someone else’s life that you might as well have your face pressed against their window—is that it forces you to rethink your idea of who you are” (pg. 58) Louisa has been accustomed to putting herself last. Her parents never hid the fact that they considered her younger sister, Treena, to be the more intelligent sibling. Patrick, her ex-boyfriend, is a self–absorbed personal.

In this short story, Louisa’s internal independence plays a major role in who she is as a woman. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman describes Louisa as an introvert because she is someone who enjoys being alone. She spends fourteen years of her life being isolated at home, waiting for her fiancé to come back from his job in Australia. During those years, she learns how to be by herself through the hard times and the pleasant ones “Louisa’s feet had turned into a path, smooth maybe under a calm, serene sky, but so strait and unswerving that it could only meet a check at her grave, and so narrow that there was no room for any one at her side” (Freeman 66). This demonstrates how she is so use to not having anyone by her side. This is why she creates her own path through all the dark times she had to face on her own. In many ways this can foreshadow the ending of the short story. This shows how she always counted on herself and

After seeing Louisa for a couple of times she told him a few interesting things. For example, the fact that the murderer rode off on a green bike was true. She knew that the murderer was a man who was a member of the Grasshoppers’ cycling club. He also studied anatomy and had a strange kind of money bag made of human skin.

She looks forward to moving away like others in her town. She admits she will not be missed at her job and at nineteen, without the former protection of her older brothers, she is beginning to feel "herself in danger of her father's violence.” This danger she sees is taken away when she meets her suitor, the sailor, Frank who promises her a better life away from these hardships she has faced.

The neighbor boy, Laurie, is quite close with all of the March sisters. While all of the girls are over at his house quite often, Laurie is made to stay at home with his tutor Mr. John Brooke. Over a period of 4-5 months, Mr. Brooks fell in love with Meg. When Meg first found out, she was against the whole thought of it.

They were married 3 years later. During their marriage, Meg learned to love Mr. Brooke as a wife would. At first, before love was strong, she pitied herself and her small house with few furnishings. She felt very sad that she didn't get many nice things at her wedding and she couldn't afford to buy them for herself. She had once bought a piece of silk for 50 dollars despite how little money her and John had. John was not mad but disappointed in her. He canceled the order he had made for a new coat with "I can't afford it, my dear" as the only explanation (214). This was the turning point for Meg. After this she realized how much she did care about John and she didn't want him to be disappointed
