Name: Eugene Marchbanks
ID: Impact Character
Gender: Male
Description:
He is a strange, shy youth of eighteen, slight, effeminate, with a delicate childish voice, and a hunted and tormented expression and shrinking manner that shew [sic] the painful sensitive of very swift and acute apprehensiveness in youth, before the character has grown to its full strength...he is so uncommon as to be almost unearthly; and to prosaic people there is something noxious in this unearthliness, just as to poetic people there is something angelic in it.
Role: Poet
Characteristics:
Motivation: Feeling
Evaluation: Test
Purpose: Thought

Name: Burgess
Gender: Male
Description:
He is a man of sixty, made coarse and sordid by the compulsory selfishness of petty commerce, and later on softened into sluggish bumptiousness by overfeeding and commercial success. A vulgar ignorant guzzling man, offensive and contemptuous to people whose labor is cheap, respectful to wealth and rank, and quite sincere and without rancor or envy in both attitudes.
Role: Candida's father
Characteristics:
Purpose: Inequity

Name: Candida
Gender: Female
Description:
She is a woman of 33, well built, well nourished, likely, one guesses, to become matronly later on, but now quite at her best, with the double charm of youth and motherhood....she is like any other pretty woman who is just clever enough to make the most of her sexual attractions for trivially selfish ends; but Candida's serene brow, courageous eyes, and well set mouth and chin signify largeness of mind and dignity of character to ennoble her cunning in the affections.
Role: Wife
Characteristics:
Methodology: Protection
Purpose: Aware

Name: Proserpine Garnett
Gender: Female
Description:
A brisk little woman of about 30, of the lower middle class, neatly but cheaply dressed in a black merino skirt and a blouse, notably pert and quick of speech, and not very civil in her manner, but sensitive and affectionate.
Role: Morell's typist
Characteristics:
Motivation: Support

Name: Reverend Alexander Mill (Lexy)
Gender: Male
Description:
He is a conceitedly well intentioned, enthusiastic, immature novice, with nothing positively unbearable about him except a habit of speaking with his lips carefully closed a full half inch from each corner for the sake of a finicking articulation and a set of university vowels
Role: Morell's curate
