The Child by Tiger †Dick’s Character :: The Child by Tiger

The Child by Tiger Dicks Character   In The Child by Tiger, Wolfe does a superb job of making the allegory reveal a truth about human experience. Dicks killing violent disorder in the short story represented how the human sole has a tendency to become violent. Characterization and excellent choice of tone and mood used in the story display how the Dick becomes violent. Wolfe carefully develops Dicks character in the short story. At the beginning of the short story, Wolfe describes Dicks actions precisely. Wolfe illustrates anything from Dicks movements to his talk. Furthermore, Dick is depicted as an honest leaden working and notably talented individual. Wolfe does all of this for a simple reason, to show that any human sole can turn evil, no matter how intelligent, honest, or hard working. For this reason, Wolfes characterization of Dick is essential to the short story. Without a good characterization of Dick before his sole turns violent, the story would have no marro w and would just be about a mad man. However, with Wolfes exquisite characterization, the reader find outs how an innocent god fearing man can turn violent. Overall, Wolfes characterization is report to the short stories meaning. Outstanding tone and mood choice also help show the truth about the weak human sole. First, the Wolfes informal tone of the story is significant. I believe Wolfes tone help set up the readers for the shock of what Dick does. However, the tone the author sets is important because of the shock we get, we also see how soft the human sole is and how it can easily change. In this case, the authors informal and almost ironic tone surprise the reader but also help show the significance of Dicks experience. Second, the authors mood for the story is quiet deceiving. Since the plot of the story is to show how any human sole can turn evil, the author sets an ironic mood. though the mood is informal, the irony of the situation is of a good mad turning evil. Wolfe set s up this mood by his description and analysis of Dicks character and actions at the beginning of the story. The mood is ironic because when the violent side of Dick comes out, our mood towards the story changes because we are shocked at what has happened to innocent Dick.
