Journal 14: Where Does Sarah Rank Among Literary Female Characters?

I would like you to consider the character of Sarah and then consider how she fits in along the continuum of female characters that we've read about this year. When we think about the overall year, we have such characters as Hedda Gabler, Tess Durbeyfield, Vivian Bearing, Lady Macbeth, Mother (from Ragtime), Mrs. Ramsey (To the Lighthouse), Clarissa Dalloway (Mrs. Dalloway), and Mary Tyrone. As you consider this spectrum of characters, where would you place Sarah? What qualities does she share with some of the other women from our literature? What qualities set her apart? I look forward to reading your insights.
