Character analysis:Mildred

Point 1 about mildred: The kind of setting mildred sleeps in. Evidence:"complete darkwess,not a hint of a silver world outside,the windows tightly shut,the chamber a tomb world where no sound from the great city could penetrate. (pgs.11-12) Elaboration: Mildred seems to be cut off from all the outside world where she sleeps in that kind of setting similar to that of a tomb.

Point 2: She seems to be a music-enthusiast Evidence: "the little seashells,the thimble radios tamped tight, and an electronic ocean of sound,of music, and talk and music and talk coming in"(pg12) Elaboration:She probably is a fan of music which calms and soothes her nerves.

Point3: Mildred suffers from insomnia Evidence: "the small crystal bottle of sleeping tablets which earlier today had been filled with thirty capsules and which lay uncapped and empty in the light of the tiny flare"(pg13) Elaboration: She most likely suffers from a sleeping disorders hence the overdose of sleeping pills. =)

Point4: Mildred seems to be weak or tired. Evidence: "the breath coming out the nostrils was so faint it stirred only the farthest fringes of life,a small leaf, a black feather, a single fibre of hair". Elaboration: She could be a bit unwell or exhausted hence the soft breathing.
