Rukmani is the character I picked for this journal entry. She is the main character of the book, and also the narrater and the protagonist of the book. The whole book is written in her perspectives. Being spoiled because of her family economic status, Rukmani expected herself to have a rich husband and a big wedding. But then it turns out that she doesn't get one and was married to a poor farmer because her family economic and social status later dropped. So the book is written by her talking about her poor life and all the bad things that happened to her. This character is a believable character in many ways. One of the reasons why this character is believable is because you can actually picture her as a real human and a real story. First of all, things didn't turned out as she expected. This happens to every single one of us when something happens and we didn't expect it to be. Second, she overcomes many challenges throughout the whole story. People always have to overcome challenges in life, no matter if it is the small ones, or the big ones. It is also very believable that women in India at that time may have many hardships going through their life.
The character traits of Rukmani is that she is arrogant, spoiled, strong, smart, and can easily adapt to the environment. One direct characteristic will be that although she has always been living in a rich and comfortable family, she quickly adapted to the life with her poor husband. An indirect characteristic will be when she talked about how big her sisters's weddings were and she expected hers to be like that too, that is arrogant. The motivation of her life is to raise her children and also want to have a rich life like she did before she was married. She faced many conflicts throughout the story including being too poor, being sick or being sexual harassed.
