In my opinion, the characters were definitely believable because of how they behaved, and the way they conveyed emotions were very similar to the personality traits of a human. Lisse and her group were frustrated, happy, and confused, which any human in their position would be. Their actions were sometimes odd, though they did resemble human actions, as every human different in their own way. They fought with each other, loved each other and questioned the Game, which anyone in their position would behave like. The characters were believable, though, the description of the characters was vague. If the author, Monica Hughes had described the characters more thoroughly we would have a more in-depth understanding of their lifestyle and we would be able to make multiple connections to compare our lifestyle to theirs.
If any other characters in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” were to read Mrs. Mallard’s thoughts, they would surely be horrified. What sort of sane, caring woman would feel joy and relief at the death of her husband? She must be a terrible person, despite her reasoning for those feelings. How could Mr. Mallard have chosen such a woman for his bride? She’s a gem, truly; note the sarcasm. Though, one does have to consider what else there is to Mrs. Mallard. She is a human and there is much more to her than her seemingly ill feelings toward her late husband, such as her desire for freedom, her genuine care for Mr. Mallard, and her capacity to exhibit strong emotions.
