Fourth Post on My Second Book

So... here's the general breakdown of the characters of The Jungle...

Jurgis Rudkis:
The main character of the story. He is a Lithuanian with the hopes of living the American dreams. He shows to be determined in the beginning of the story and always works hard to achieve his goals to the point one would call him naive. Jurgis is keen on following traditions as well as following his duties as a man to his wife. He is not much of what one would call a hero but more of a desperate man squirming as worm when it is dying. It is sad to see him crumbling under the social pressures and lose his moral values. Jurgis was the husband of Ona and traveled with his family and Ona's family as well to America becoming what Upton Sinclair (author of this book) considers as "wage slaves".

Ona:
The supporting character for most part of the story. She is also a Lithuanian who came to America with the same expectations as Jurgis. She is described as quiet and passionate in the book and can be that she is when she is forced to deal with a situation. She is what someone would consider a strong woman and helps to support her family with low payment jobs. She does most of the math and calculation on how they should spend their money earned. She is one of the characters with one of the worst fate in the book - she passes away about 3/4s through the book. Ona is the wife of Jurgis Rudkis and traveled from Lithuania with Jurgis and comes from a household which does not lack anything much.
