    The Round House by Louise Erdrich has many characters that all play a significant part in this novel. The character that stood out to me the most is the mother of the main character Joe, Geraldine. It is obvious that the book is based off the attack that happened to Geraldine, but I feel that her character as an individual plays a very important role in this novel. Some may wonder why Louise Erdrich started the novel with this beginning sentence: "Small trees had attacked my parents' house at the foundation. ... They had grown into the unseen wall and it was difficult to pry them loose," as Joe tells us. I have come to believe that this opening sentence is an overall indication of the complications and obstacles attacking the foundation of the family, Joe’s mother Geraldine.…

    Before looking at Ruth, we have a novel very different from Mary Barton in Cranford. While Mary Barton is a novel of the poor people's struggle to survive in a changing society which needs them as workers yet turns a blind eye to their suffering, Cranford is concerned with the struggle of an old-fashioned society against the changes being forced upon it by the new industrialism. In Cranford there are two main characters who grow and change together: a young woman called Mary Smith, and her older friend Matilda Jenkyns. Through their friendship, these two women symbolize the union of the new England with the old Victorian values. It is apparent that industrialism is making it difficult for the old ways to continue, especially the "code of gentility" which is a major force in the lives of the women, and men, of Cranford. However, we understand at the end that it is possible for the old to co-exist with the new as Mary Smith merges the values and behaviors of the older generation with her Drumble background.…
