Most fairytales have a hero. These heroes will often become successful at the end of the story. They will often get what they want and ride off into the sunset.

Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first.

Although she knows who did it, she does not act on it. Therefore, she is seen as helpless and useless. The thief knows she is unable to respond to the matter due to the others around her, “Its rightful owner saw, but, of course, dared not call attention to the act, in the presence of the third personage who stood at her elbow” (Poe 600). By acting on her weakness, the thief escaped knowing her secrets. They preyed on her disadvantage in the situation. After being blackmailed for countless months, “…the power thus attained has, for some months past, been wielded, for political purposes, to a very dangerous extent,” (Poe 600) she was left no choice but to rely on others. She could not figure a way to fix the problem at hand. Eventually, she had to rely on a man to help her, “In fine, driven to despair, she has committed the matter to me” (Poe 600). She had no other option but to go to someone else. She had no more ideas, and she was left not knowing what to do next. She had to rely on someone else, someone smarter and wiser than her. She was not capable of rescuing her letter or herself. She could not save herself from the possibility of her secret getting out. In this sense, character interactions caused the Royal Lady to be portrayed as helpless and useless.
