The governor is suspicious of Evans’ intentions right from the start when he expresses his desire to take German exam. He is the primary antagonist of the main character Evans. Although he is intelligent, his arrogance in his intellect becomes his weakness. In the story, he is shown as a man who is very carefully monitors Evans’ every step as he is afraid that he might give them the slip. He is skeptical about Evans since he had already fooled them thrice. The governor detects Evans’ treachery when he couldn’t understand a basic German expression ‘Gluten Gluck’. This instance bears testimony to the fact that the governor was indeed a very smart man. He even deciphers the secret message which helps him track Evans’ whereabouts. Unfortunately, he becomes blinded by the faith in his own capabilities and foolishly lets Evans escape one more time. When he traced Evans to Hotel Golden Lion, he does not anticipate that the felon would be well-prepared to escape. He does not take enough fo

Jack was a loving father and a deeply concerned husband who constantly worried about his wife expecting their third child. He was quite conscientious when it came to maintaining a balanced family life no matter how weary and tired it made him at the end of the day. His children mattered to him, he took on the mantle of regaling his daughter Joanne with stories. Jack was a good storyteller because he could keep not only the listener but also his own interest riveted upon the stories that he created. His stories were imaginative creations and it contained characters who had been infused with life by Jack. He told these stories in the evenings and for Saturday naps to his daughter Jo out of his own head. This custom had begun when she was two and was not nearly two years old such that he felt his stock of stories had depleted. Each new story was a slight variation of a basic tale with a small creature usually named Roger who had some problem and went with it to a wise old owl. These p

Dr. Sadao Hoki is the protagonist of the story and  Hana ’s husband. A skilled surgeon educated in America, Sadao is wholly responsible for saving the life of  Tom , an American prisoner of war who washes up on the beach alongside Sadao and Hana’s isolated home on the Japanese coast. Sadao is an emotionally complex character who struggles to come to terms with his inexplicable impulse to save the life of an American, who is supposedly his enemy, and his staunch Japanese patriotism (which increasingly reads as outright nationalism and racial prejudice). Sadao’s arc is anti-epiphanic, ending with his deeply prejudiced thoughts about all the Americans he’s known throughout his lifetime. However, the story suggests that the reason he helped the prisoner of war—putting his and his household’s safety on the line in doing so—is because of the latent human impulse to be good and kind. Alongside his nationalism, Sadao is also a proponent of traditional Japanese gender roles, requiring his wife

Charley, the main character of the story finds a portal which leads to 1894. He tries to go to his hometown, Galesburg.

However, he never finds the third level again. When he tells this to his wife and his psychiatrist friend about this, both think that alike philately, this is also another way to take refuge from the realities of the world. However, the proof of the third level’s existence comes from the most unexpected source, his psychiatrist friend – Sam. Sam sends Charlie a letter telling him about the third level.
