I definitely, definitely agree - it looks like Charlotte set out to write a simple moral tale with a flawed but ultimately upstanding protagonist. For me at least, the "flawed" part of his characterization proved too heavy-handed, eclipsing any other aspects of his personality. Clearly, Charlotte could make amazingly powerful use of the first-person narrative, and if writing The Professor helped get her there then I'm glad she wrote it!<br />Best wishes,<br />ZebZebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418429146952261809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884264556511421170.post-45780485056597476082013-06-17T19:39:25.721-07:002013-06-17T19:39:25.721-07:00No worries!

"The Professor" sounds like ...Zebulous, <br /><br />"The Professor" sounds like an author's attempt at creating a character with a problem that is overcome in the course of the story but unfortunately the problem is so irritating that one does not care if it is ovecome or not. Later, theis author realized various ways of having the protagonist problematic but still sympathetic. Or so it would seem.<br /><br />Sincerely Yours,<br />Cuthbert SpuriousWilliam Kerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797178232777588171noreply@blogger.com
