Protagonist Character Role Analysis Matilda Matilda Cook is the character in the novel we root for, and we better do some heavy duty rooting because she's up against quite a bit. Matilda comes face-to-face with a raging yellow fever epidemic that's picking off her friends and family one by one. Over the course of the novel, we see her mature from a slightly bratty teenager to a responsible, self-sufficient adult with cares and concerns about those around her Character roles
Matilda is a changing character • Self absorbed teenager (give examples from chapter 1-3) • The victim (give an example) • The survivor (what did she over come) • The caregiver (give an example and include Nell) • The adult (what has she become the head of) Character development
