Which archetypal character does the speaker represent in this passage? By golly, here they go and use up all the towels, every doggone one of 'em, and they use 'em and get 'em all wet and sopping, and never put out a dry one for meof course, I'm the goat!and then I want one andnI'm the only person in the doggone house that's got the slightest doggone bit of consideration for other people and thoughtfulness and consider there may be others that may want to use the doggone bathroom after me and consider (from Babbit by Sinclair Lewis) optimist complainer visionary thrill-seeker
is it A. optimist ?
No. An opstimist sees everything on the bright side. The best example i can give of this is "The optimist sees the donut. The pessimist sees the hole."
They would not complain but they would be fine with it and go and get their own towel.
Now what do you think it is?
complainer??
thanks for explaining makes more sense.
That is correct! ^.^
