Throughout the novella I Am Legend by Richard Matheson‚ Robert Neville‚ the last human who is immune to this disease‚ is an anti-hero. For instance‚ towards the end of the story‚ during his state of confusion after he woke up‚ he felt pain that he had not ever felt before and thought that it must mean it was the end and said to himself ‘’I am going to die’’ (p.164).

Animal Farm Character List Animal Farm is written in the form of a fable‚ and therefore its characters are often less important for their individual characteristics as for the more general types and specific historical figures they represent. While Animal Farm satirizes totalitarian regimes in general‚ it also refers more specifically to the Russian Revolution of 1917‚ and for this reason many of its characters represent specific figures from those events.

It was Masters’ job to write the epitaphs as it was Richard Bone’s job to write what they wanted on the epitaphs‚ which are probably not a real reflection of the lives they lead - just the image of themselves
