Analyzing Characters- Lillian



                I haven’t been able to get in much reading this week, but I have read enough to notice that Lillian has been acting very suspicious recently.  Lillian is the mother of the two children Hannah is taking care of in America. At first Lillian was very kind and welcoming towards Hannah, but recently she has gotten very rude and strict. She has made some very harsh rules for Hannah to follow, consisting of when Hannah has to wake up- which is extremely early, the house must be extremely clean, all the time, she’s not allowed to have contact with people outside of the house, she isn’t allowed to have friends in the house, she is rarely allowed to leave the house, and lastly, Hannah is not allowed to look at Lillian’s husband, Sergey, or talk to him unless spoken to. These rules are very restricting, and almost makes it sound like Hannah is not allowed to leave the house, or talk to anyone besides the children. The rules sound more like Hannah being their slave than being a Nanny. Will Hannah’s time spent in the Human Trafficking Industry come soon?

  1. Hannah does sound very much so as a slave. This is very sad that she is being pushed around even though she was suppose to be a nanny. I hope that in some way she will be able to get out of this situation that she is put in.

  2. This sounds interesting, it sounds like Lillian turned into almost a "master" to Hannah. It also makes me wonder why Lillian turned out so strict.
