The wicked old lady
Miss Lupescu is a mean woman. When Bod first met her she does not strike him as a very fun person to be around. He first knows this because she does not like his name and renames him "boy". Also she tries to teach him lessons with everything he would possibly never need to know. But what he didn't is that her teachings would save his life. After being captured by the ghouls he remembered how to say help in night gaunt. Miss Lupescu didn't turn out to be just some old hag, she was in fact a Hound of God and she heard the call and saved him. Do you think you think Miss Lupescu is actually doing more harm than good to Bod or the other way around?

Yeah some say if you're told the same thing over and over again no matter how much you don't want to hear it you will actually subconciously learn it. Lucky for Bod.
ReplyDeleteChad,
ReplyDeleteGreat assessment of Miss Lupescu, who is indeed a werewolf! She makes me think of all those demanding teachers you hated at first but then you loved because they taught you so much. She's one of my favorite characters in this novel. Keep up the awesome blog.
I thought it was pretty good how Neil Gaiman made mostly every creature fight for good. Werewolves don't really get associated with good.
