Question

In Hard Times, by Charles Dickens, what feature of Rachael's character makes her a static character?
her role as a worker in the factory
her undeterred devotion to Stephen
her dislike of unions
her choice to go with Stephen when he gets fired

Answer 1

Answer:

her undeterred devotion to Stephen

Explanation:

A static character is one who does not have many personality traits and who is very simple to describe them, because they are not complex and deep, having only one or two striking characteristics. In Rachel's case, we can say that she is a static character, because her only personality trait is her devotion to Stephen. This is a very important feature of the story, but it is all that Rachel has to offer.
