Journal Response Prompt: Tell me about a character you really dislike in this book. What kind of person is this character, and why is he/she your least favorite? Give specific examples from the book to help me understand your choice.

My least favorite character in the book is Madam Lockton. She is a loyalist and she is a spoiled brat that will not do barely anything for herself. Also, she gets very mad at her servants when they just do tiny mistakes. Here is an example from the book from page 51: " One day she beat her with a fireplace poker". One of  Madam's other servant's is telling the main character what Madam did to another slave. This proves that Madam gets very mad at her servants even if they do something only a little wrong. Here is another example from page 68: " Girl, the bedding needs to be aired". Here is an example where she is making the main character work and she does not like it. She will not do any of these things for herself because she has a slave. Overall, Madam Lockton is my least favorite character because she does basically nothing for herself.
