Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time

Christopher is a character from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and there is something very unique about him. When Christopher is a part of a larger group he becomes very anxious and socially impaired. The author of the book, Haddon, also portrays Christopher as having anxiety and becoming very uncomfortable when he is in a larger group of people. Christopher does not function well as part of a larger group in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. Christopher becomes very anxious when involved with a bigger group of people.

They are hard to understand.” This also shows that he becomes uncomfortable and anxious when there’s too many people around.

One example is when Christopher went door to door asking his neighbors if they knew anything about Wellington’s murder, “So because it was a Super Good Day I decided to walk into the park with Mrs. Alexander even though it scared me.” Christopher wasn’t panicked or nervous, he was very calm and could talk to his neighbors one person at a time. Another example is Christopher becomes very calm when he’s by himself. “Sometimes when I want to be on my own I get into the airing cupboard in the bathroom.” This shows that Christopher is calm and the opposite of anxious when he’s by himself and not part of a large
