Setting

Setting

 Bath, England at a Bed and Breakfast. It's dark, cold and rainy outside.

"Green curtains (some sort of velvety material) were hanging down on either side of the window. The chrysanthemums looked wonderful beside them. There was a bright fire burning in the hearth. On the carpet in front of the fire, a pretty little dachshund was curled up asleep with its nose tucked into its belly."

conflict

conflict

man vs. self: when Billy has to decide whether to stay at the bed and breakfast or go to The Bell and Dragon.

man vs. man: Billy vs. The Landlady

round vs flat characters

Billy Weaver- round: we know his physical traits along with his thoughts.  However, he doesn't change throughout the story. 

Landlady- flat:  there is very little detail we know really about her other than her age, and she is a taxidermist. We don't know why she does what she does and she doesn't change during the story.
