TITLE
FAVORITE CHARACTER
My favorite character is the hero david
balfour.
The central character and narrator is a
young man named David Balfour (Balfour
being Stevenson's mother's maiden
name), young but resourceful, whose
parents have recently died and who is out
to make his way in the world. He is given
a letter by the minister of Essendean, Mr.
Campbell, to be delivered to the ominous
House of Shaws in Cramond, where
David's uncle, Ebenezer Balfour, lives. On
his journey, David inquires too many
people where the House of Shaws is, and
all of them speak of it darkly as a place of
fear and evil.
ALTERNATIVE
ENDING
The novel ends with David and Alan parting ways,
Alan going to France, and David going to a bank to
settle his money. At one point in the book, a
reference is made to David's eventually studying at
the University of Leyden, a fairly common practice
for young Scottish gentry seeking a law career in the
eighteenth century.
