Charles' Strickland Character Sketch

Charles‘ Strickland character sketch


After having read “The Moon And Sixpense” by W.S. Maugham personally I feel really impressed and I still cannot recover from it. It amazed me much by its mystery and strangeness. The main character Charles Strickland is one of the most fascinating characters I have ever read about. His whole life story can be divided to two basic parts.

In the first part I made a quite different impression of Strickland’s personality than in the second one. As we can see, at first he seemed to be a sensitive, exemplary man and father, remarkably kindhearted, hard-working and highly moral person. He was working for his family and he managed to maintained them for seventeen years! That family didn’t lack anything and everybody could say that they all were happy together, not only from the first sight.

However Nature likes to play sometimes, and in some cases She is so pleased to see her children suffering and in big troubles....
