One word per character
« on: December 25, 2002, 02:58:57 PM »
We're heavily involved in 1897, which, IMHO contains some of the most fascinating characters dreamed up by the writers.  Choose any characters you want, major and/or minor, and give a one-word description of him/her.  

Barnabas - determined
Judith - haughty
Carl - insane
Charity - deflowered
Trask - hypocrite
Quentin - self-serving
Magda - loving
Sandor - enslaved
Jenny - pathetic
Beth - loyal
Edward - stuffy
Laura - evil-intentioned (I know it's two, sue me!)
Jamison - heirish
Nora - Amy-ish
Rachel - abused
Tim - disloyal
Minerva - hypocrite #2
Dorcas - simpering

I'm sure I'm leaving people out, but it's fun trying to come up with one-word descriptions.  Try it!

Love, Robin

....Quentin - Pliable...


Very interesting observation!  Pliable.  I'd have to agree.
I like that trait.  Whatever his faults, at least he doesn't have his head up his ass like his dear brother, Edward.
