Charactersketch of Mrs. S in the story THE ADDRESS

Dear Student,

In the story 'The Address', Mrs S is shown to be a simple Jewish woman who became a victim of war. Mrs S was a good homemaker who took pride in her collection of household things such as crockery, cutlery, and upholstery. She took care of them and kept them clean at all times. Before leaving, Mrs S had given her precious and expensive household items to Mrs Dorling with the intention of taking them back after the war was over. But unfortunately, Mrs S didn't live long enough to go back to Holland and get her things back from Mrs. Dorling.         

Regards

Margo Minco is a Jewish girl who faced the pain, sufferings, and losses, including the irreparable loss of her dear mother in war. She is a brave and courageous girl who faces the challenges of a lonely life after the war is over. She is attached to her mother’s things and after returning to her home-city, she goes to Mrs. Dorling to claim her mother’s things back. Mrs. Dorling’s cold, indifferent and discouraging behavior further depresses her.  She had already suffered many losses, including the irreparable loss of her dear mother.  Finally she decides to leave her mother’s things and forget them forever as the things will evoke her mother’s memories more often and make her more miserable.
