The story tells how he has a plan to kidnap a fairy, an elusive species that no one is supposed to know about, and ransom it for a one tonne of pure gold. The story tells us how he discovered the existence of fairies and how no one knows about them, because the fairies wipe the memories of anyone who has ever seen them.

A subordinate character has an important role in the story without being the protagonist. In “The Most Dangerous Game”, “A Worn Path”, and “A Rose for Emily”, all have subordinate characters that contribute to making the story understandable. Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game”, starts off with the protagonist, Sanger Rainsford, having a conversation with Whitney about hunting.…

This applies to several characters in Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible, especially Orleanna, Nathan, and their daughters. Through their sacrifices, characteristics and values become evident in these characters that would not be understood otherwise. The sacrifices made by these characters contribute to the novel as a whole by giving it depth and greater meaning, just as these sacrifices make each character’s intentions clear and presence throughout the novel more relevant. Orleanna made countless sacrifices throughout the novel for her husband.…

    Almost the entirety of the novel is the recording of the narrator’s dream, which begins with the thought of the hat that he took by mistake the day before and the strange recollection of a “stone that looked like a lump of fat” (Meyrink 10). The narrator’s name and identity are never mentioned, but it is interesting that once he enters the dream, after a brief state of awareness of the unconscious taking over the conscious, through the process of displacement, he assumes the identity of Athanasius Pernath, a gem cutter and engraver. The character “seems disjointed from his existence” (Barnett) as he experiences a series of strange occurrences which he cannot explain rationally. Those are the result of the primary revision in dreams, both displacement…
