It's All About Networking...

All three characterzation works of the Characterization Unit

One of the most important elements of every character is the study of their relationships with others. While these three stories are drastically different (as similar as quilting and lawyers are...) the relationships have been the center focus of the story. Within " Hunters in the Snow" and "Everyday Use" the center relationship defines the outcome of the tale. "Hunters in the Snow" reunites two former friends and unifies their actions with "Everyday Use" breaks the unjust balance of a power relationship and ends in justice. A few of the stories, especially "Bartleby the Scriverner", displays the harm of a lack of relationship as Bartleby walks all over the lawyer and causes him to not be able to act as a leader. Relationships define these stories.

Another common thread of these stories is the use of justice. From earning the ownership of quilts to having the unjust working relationship of Bartleby and the lawyer, justice gives these stories the needed suspense. In general stories centered on characterization have common themes of intense relationships and emotions.
