The Fellows

As the story continues, new characters are introduced into the plot. First they describe Captain Fellows, who seems to be a nice and joyfull person. This is the first time that a person is shown to be trully happy in the story, or at least he seems this way as he sings while driving his boat. Also I thought that it was very weird when he says that the only place were he had been happier was in wartime France. This shows how Captain Fellows isn't a normal person. Then when he arrives home he talks to his wife who is the complete opposite of her husband. Mrs Fellows is a sad person and is constantly thinking about her old age and death. She hates the place were they live and she is always in a bad mood. Their daughter, Coral Fellows is very different to her parents. Unlike her numb mom and dad, she shows to have an independent way of thought and acts upon her believes. We can see this when she hides the outlaw priest in her house without the consent of her parents. She then demonstrates a certain affection towards the priest and even though she could get in big trouble, she offers him her place to hide in the future. As the priest took off she says that if they kill him she would never forgive the people responsible and she would be willing to avange his death. This is very weird because she had known the priest for a very short time and she wasn't even religious. In fact she sugested to the priest to give up his faith in order to save his life.
