    I also believe the characters were a tad bit off in comparison to their novel counterparts I can also see where you made the hulk reference and now it's in my mind as well. And while you had problems with the monsters character portrayals my problem stemmed from Elizabeth's character portrayal. To me there could have been a little more or sometimes less to the main characters overall…

    As the story begins, Muriel is displayed a narcissistic person, who does not even try to understand the trauma her husband is going through. All she desires is for her life to be flawless. Muriel only takes care of herself and she doesn’t listen to anyone. Muriel’s actions are a prime reason of why Seymour has trouble sharing with Muriel his true feelings. Muriel and her mother are constantly judging Seymour, saying that he is mentally ill, or crazy. Muriel’s mother states, “Muriel. My word of honor. Dr. Sivetski said Seymour might completely loose control” (7). The tension between Muriel, Muriel’s mother, and Seymour cause Seymour to coexist under a great amount of stress.

    As she was born, she bore death. The child came in the recesses of a dull and barren winter, on a night that had been so cold that it felt hollow, like a jagged hole bitten out of the earth. The queen mother had died just hours after the birth—a fever, so they claimed, no doubt brought on by the miserable chill of the season. The sickness quickly spread to the other wet-nurses and servants—she passed from hand to hand in a succession of fleeting maternity, leaving her swaddled in mourning clothes. They preferred to keep the child covered, for even a fleeting glance of her chilled milk-white skin and blood stained lips created a deathly shiver.…

    The child was like ice in her womb. For as she looked at the dead man, her mind, cold and detached, said clearly: "Who am I? What have I been doing? I have been fighting a husband who did not exist. He existed all the time. What wrong have I done? What was that I have been living with” (2495). Elizabeth realizes she has lived life day to day sharing it with someone she believed she loved but the reality was that looking at his dead body she never really knew him at all. This is seen through actions like in the beginning of the story she is angry because she thinks he is a drunk and out drinking instead of coming home when actually he is dead. She was in love with the actions and idea of having a husband, someone who you can truly love, but when it came down to it she had a sense of failure because of the realization that she never really knew the real man that was her husband. I lost my dad in the fourth grade, and my mom tells me stories about him and sometimes it feels like I knew him better than anyone else and some days you feel like you never really got to know him at all. Do you think this is a valid idea or do you think the grief from losing her husband can be partly to blame for Elizabeth’s ways of…
