Protagonist

"Maybe I am a lunatic." (Stephen King, Insomnia pg.43)
 I've only read the prologue and part of the first chapter so the protagonist isn't as clear as it would be if i was further in the story. The protagonist is a man who is over 70 years old named Ralph. Ralph is a very sad or depressed person because his wife was dying which made him start his sadness and then after the prologue, she died which made Ralph depressed and it made him get insomnia - a sleeping disorder.

               From what I know about Ralph, it is hard to make a prediction on his outcome. My best guess is that as the plot progresses and a problem starts then he will use something he knows about his wife to solve the problem because the entire prologue was based on his dying wife and her death.







I chose this video because it shows how Ralph feels knowing that his wife is dying. Ralph even describes how he had emotionally prepared himself for her to die which made him more depressed.
