Main Characters:
Frederrick Douglass-" The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon."
*Douglass is the book's narrator, and it's a book about him. So in a way, it's hard to really describe him as a character.
Sophia Auld- "She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other."
*Hugh Auld's wife Sophia has never owned a slave before Douglass, so she doesn't understand much about the slave-owning culture. As she becomes corrupted by the experience of owning Douglass, she shows that slave owning is terrible thing for white people too.
Edward Covey- "*The most important turning point in Douglass's life comes when Covey tries to whip him, Douglass refuses to let him, and they fight it out, more or less to a draw. After the fight, Covey shows that the most important thing to him is his reputation as a slave-breaker."
