Read this excerpt from "Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

Which of Harold's character traits is revealed using direct characterization?

youth
innocence
defiance
bitterness

One day, for some reason or other, Mr. Gibson came home unexpectedly. He was crossing
the hall, having come in by the garden-door—the garden communicated with the stable-yard,
where he had left his horse—when the kitchen door opened, and the girl who was underling in
the establishment, came quickly into the hall with a note in her hand, and made as if she was
taking it upstairs; but on seeing her master she gave a little start, and turned back as if to hide
herself in the kitchen. If she had not made this movement, so conscious of guilt, Mr. Gibson,
who was anything but suspicious, would never have taken any notice of her. As it was, he
stepped quickly forwards, opened the kitchen door, and called out, “Bethia” so sharply that she
could not delay coming forwards.
Give me that note,” he said. She hesitated a little.
It's for Miss Molly,” she stammered out.
“Give it to me!” he repeated more quietly than before. She looked as if she would cry;
but still she kept the note tight held behind her back.
“He said as I was to give it into her own hands; and I promised as I would, faithful.”
Cook, go and find Miss Molly. Tell her to come here at once.”
He fixed Bethia with his eyes. It was of no use trying to escape: she might have thrown it into
the fire, but she had not presence of mind enough. She stood immovable, only her eyes looked
any way rather than encounter her master's steady gaze.
“Molly, my dear!”
“Papa! I did not know you were at home,” said innocent, wondering Molly.
“Bethia, keep your word. Here is Miss Molly; give her the note.”
“Indeed, Miss, I couldn't help it!”
Molly took the note, but before she could open it, her father said,—
“That's all, my dear; you need not read it. Give it to me. Tell those who sent you, Bethia, that all
letters for Miss Molly must pass through my hands. Now be off with you, goosey, and go back
to where you came from.”
“Papa, I shall make you tell me who my correspondent is.”
“We'll see about that, by-and-by.”
She went a little reluctantly, with ungratified curiosity, upstairs to Miss Eyre, who was still her
daily companion, if not her governess. He turned into the empty dining-room, shut the door,
broke the seal of the note, and began to read it. It was a flaming love-letter from Mr. Coxe; who
professed himself unable to go on seeing her day after day without speaking to her of the
passion she had inspired—an 'eternal passion,' he called it; on reading which Mr. Gibson
laughed a little. Would she not look kindly at him? Would she not think of him whose only
thought was of her? and so on, with a very proper admixture of violent compliments to her beauty.

Read each explanation. Then, identify whether it is objective. The hidden springs created dangers for both the man in the story and the real-life prospectors. They contributed to the harshness of the environment and could make survival difficult. This optimism was unrealistic, as it led both the man in the story and the real-life prospectors deeper into the harsh environment, not closer to their goals. These excellent examples show defeat in both the man and the real-life prospectors and demonstrate reasons the man and the prospectors never should have ventured into the Yukon.
