There may also be teachers or mentors in the school part of the story. They could play a role in teaching or guiding the students about politeness, and might also interact with the princely characters if they are brought into the school environment in the story.
One key theme could be the idea of proper behavior or 'politeness' as suggested in the title. It might explore how princes or characters in a school setting are expected to act in a polite and refined manner.
Obviously, the dragon prince and his bride are the main characters. There may also be some supporting characters like the prince's family members or the bride's friends from her previous life.
Since it's 'The Monster and Other Stories', there may be a group of adventurers as main characters. They might be on a quest that leads them to encounter the monster. Each of them could have different personalities and skills. For instance, one could be strong and fearless, while another is intelligent and good at solving puzzles. And of course, the monster itself could also be considered a main character in a way, as it drives the action and conflict in the stories.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the specific 'neighbors and other stories'. It could be the neighbors themselves, perhaps an old couple next door, a young family, or a single person living alone.
Given the title, it's likely that the main characters are the 'other women'. These could be women from different walks of life, each with their own story to tell. There may also be other supporting characters like friends or family members who influence or are affected by the situations these other women are in.
Without having read the 'Longing and Other Stories', we can only guess. Maybe there are characters like a young person full of dreams and longings, a middle - aged person who has lost their way in life and is longing for a fresh start, and an older character who looks back on their life with a sense of longing for the past. These are just possible character types that could be in the stories.
Without having read the book, it's difficult to determine the main characters precisely. But it's possible that there are characters from diverse backgrounds. For example, there could be a working - class character who dreams of financial freedom, and a creative character who desires artistic freedom. These different characters would then interact and their stories would unfold in relation to the overarching concept of freedom.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the book. But typically in a collection like this, there could be a variety of main characters in different stories. Maybe there's a character who is the watcher, or there could be characters who are being watched.
Well, different stories in the collection have their own sets of main characters. However, in general, there are often humans who are in various interactions with non - human or alien entities. These humans are typically the focus as they deal with the strange and often dangerous situations that come with these interactions. For example, some characters are faced with having to make difficult choices regarding their relationships with these other beings.
The Sneetches are the central characters in this story. There are different groups among them - the Sneetches with stars on their bellies who are proud and snobbish at first, and the Sneetches without stars who are often looked down upon. There is also an outside character who brings in the means to change the star situation, which plays a crucial role in the story's development as it makes the Sneetches re - evaluate their views on each other.
