Who are the notable characters in 'The Black Cat and Other Stories'?

I'm not entirely sure without having read it thoroughly, but there's likely to be the character associated with the black phone. Maybe it's a victim or someone who has a special connection to the strange events related to the phone.

In 'The Black Cat', the main character is the unnamed narrator. He is a man who experiences a transformation from a seemingly normal person to someone consumed by madness and guilt. There's also the black cat, which is an important character as it is the focus of the narrator's obsession.

The main characters are hard to determine without reading the book. However, based on the title, the black cat is bound to be an important character. There may be a protagonist who has a special bond with the cat. This person could be a lonely individual or someone going through a difficult time, and the cat becomes a significant part of their life. There might also be secondary characters like local store owners or friends who play a role in the stories that involve the black cat.

In 'The Lottery', Tessie Hutchinson is a notable character. She becomes the victim of the lottery, and her protests at the end highlight the horror of the situation.

There is the narrator in many of the stories. His perspective is crucial as he guides us through the strange events. Also, in the story of 'The Aleph' itself, Carlos Argentino Daneri is a notable character. He is the owner of the house where the aleph is supposedly located.

The narrator is impulsive. His actions, like harming the cat, are sudden without much thought. The black cat is very perceptive. It seems to sense the narrator's change in mood and tries to avoid him when he turns cruel.

I'm not entirely sure about all the characters, but there might be a character who represents the everyman, struggling against the system. Maybe there's also a character who embodies the greed of the corporate world.

The old man in the story by the river is also a character that stands out. He has a lot of wisdom that he imparts, but also a sad backstory that is gradually revealed throughout the story. His presence in the story adds depth and a sense of melancholy as he reflects on his life and the changes in the world around him.

I'm not entirely sure without reading the book specifically, but likely there is the variable man himself. He's probably a central character whose variability sets the tone for the stories he's in.

Big Blonde is surely a notable character. She is likely the central figure in at least some of the stories, and her experiences are probably what drive the plot in those cases.
