Protagonist

Stock Character

He was the laughing stock of the village

He is a beggar

He is sickly man, reserved and helpless

Because the story evolves to the unfortunate life of the Blind Man, which it was molested by the people who surround him

Because his character occurs repeatedly all throughout the story and never change until the end of the story.

They took advantage of his disability to use him in their own pleasure. They mock him with cruel jokes and make fun every time he ate his meal. It was evident in the line:

“It is easy to imagine all the cruel practical jokes inspired by his blindness. And, in order to have some fun in return for feeding him, they now converted his meals into hours of pleasure for the neighbors and of punishment for the helpless creature himself.

After his relative got tired to him they decided to send him to the near market place to beg.

”He was placed somewhere on the high-road on market-days, and as soon as he heard the sound of footsteps or the rolling of a vehicle, he reached out his hat, stammering:””Charity, if you please!”

He was described by the author that his face was very pale and had a big eyes like wafer. He even not talked to anyone just to defend himself every time he was attacked by the people. He did nothing to the cruelty of his neighbors because his own family treated him cruelly too. It is evident in this line:

According

to Personal Action

He is pitiful

His face was very pale and his two big white eyes looked like wafers. He remained unmoved at all the insults hurled at him, so reserved that one could not tell whether he felt them.

Because since child he never felt a love from his own family and as he grow up, all the treatments he received from the people in the village was cruelty alone.

“Then the spectators ranged along the wall would burst out laughing, nudge each other and stamp their feet on the floor. And he, without ever uttering a word, would continue eating with his right hand, while stretching out his left to protect his plate.”
