Some traits I see from this character is that he was brought up with good morals and knows and can handle responsibility for his sister being very mature by somewhat serving as a second parental figure for when there aunt wasn’t there in the past as described for days on end (pg5).morals being brought during when the man needed someone to walk him home instead of turning the other way edmaund helped the man and did the right thing (pg15). I think so think of these traits were only Emplaced in him based on his situation, but all these traits he has I believe are very good traits and will also benefit him on helping find his sister.
“Something about the boy’s wretchedness had touched him. And when the boy shivered-he was wearing a little more than a shirt and trousers and even these were ragged- the man came back”(15) This shows Edmund to be a very poor boy. He has poor clothing and is cold. Also it shows that he might be lonely because it talks about his wretchedness. To Dupin, Edmund seems like a cold, poor, lonely boy. Dupin turns around and ends up starting to help Edmund. This shows that Dupin cares about people and doesn’t like to see people suffer. It also shows that Dupin is responsible. He could’ve of just walked away but he went back to Edmund to help him with his problem.
Edmund has a variety of traits through the course of the book. For example, he is helpful, caring, and questioning. He helps Dupin because Dupin has promised him that he would help him (32). A dialogue of this would be, “Please, sir,” Edmund said, dumping Mr. Dupin’s coins on the counter, “a meat pie. And candles.” This is when Edmund goes on the shivery night trying to get what Dupin wants to eat and have. He is caring for his mother when she arrives home (172).The exact lines from the story would be, “The boy turned and helped the woman to the bed, where she lay down.” At last he is a very questioning person. For example on page 52, where he asks Dupin so many questions when Dupin told him to go and find the price of a coat. He says, “Now?” Edmund said. He had not finished eating.” Edmund is a very irregular person but in some cases he could be predictable on his next action.
Edmund has very different traits throughout the book. He often questions himself and others, “One moment he was convinced that everything the man said was true. The next he was just as certain it was all mad, the product of drink. The only thing Edmund knew for sure was that he himself didn’t know what to think. It was impossible to settle on anything!” (101). He can also be very bold and daring like when he was crawling underneath the wharf, “His arms were too short. It was then that he realized he was going to have to let go of the top-completely-and allow himself to fall. He’d have a chance, one chance only, to make a snatch at a grip underneath. If he missed he’s be in the freezing black waters below” (127). Sometimes though, his traits counter each other and he is either too questioning to be brave or too self-confident to question.
