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

The main themes in 'The Aleph and Other Stories' are quite diverse. There is a strong presence of the theme of the supernatural. The aleph is a supernatural element that challenges the characters' and readers' understanding of the world. There is also the theme of human nature. How people react to the extraordinary, whether with fear, wonder, or a combination of both, reveals a lot about human nature. Additionally, the stories often touch on the theme of memory and how it shapes our perception of reality.

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.

I'm not entirely sure as I haven't reviewed it recently, but usually there is a narrator who plays a central role in experiencing and describing the aleph.

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.

Well, since it's a friend of Kafka, that friend would be a notable character. Maybe it's someone who has a deep understanding of Kafka or is influenced by him in some way. There could also be other characters who are in contrast to this friend, like those who don't understand Kafka's ideas at all.

I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it in detail, but there might be a protagonist who is at the center of the story about 'half a life'. This character could be someone who has experienced a major change or turning point in their life.

In 'The Necklace', Madame Loisel is a very notable character. She is a woman who is discontent with her middle - class life and dreams of a more luxurious existence. Her husband, Monsieur Loisel, is also important as he tries to please his wife. He is a hard - working man who sacrifices for his wife's desires.

Well, the unnamed protagonist in 'The Call of Cthulhu' is quite important. He's the one who stumbles upon the dark secrets and the cult that worships Cthulhu. There are also the cult members themselves. They play a significant role as they are the ones trying to bring about the return of Cthulhu. And Cthulhu, that huge, tentacled, and indescribably hideous entity, is a central character in a sense. It represents the ultimate cosmic horror that the whole story revolves around.
