Elizabeth Willard

Tom Willard

Doctor Parcival - A doctor who enjoys chatting with George and hinting about a criminal past. He suffers from paranoia, believing that the secret of life is “that everyone in the world is Christ.”

Louise Trunnion - A local girl with whom George Willard has one of his first sexual experiences.

Jesse Bentley - A wealthy farmer, and a deeply religious man with a brutal, Old Testament sensibility and tendency to terrorize his family.

Louise Bentley - Jesse Bentley’s daughter. A lonely woman with a vicious temper, she is estranged from her father, and marries young out of a craving for love. Her marriage is not a success.

David Hardy - Louise Bentley’s son and Jesse Bentley’s grandson. He goes to live on his grandfather’s farm while an adolescent, and ends up terrorized by his grandfather’s religious zeal and desire to make contact with God.

Joe Welling - The agent for Standard Oil in Winesburg, he is a man who seizes on strange ideas and talks about them for hours on end. He is compared to a volcano, outwardly calm but always ready to explode with some strange fascination.

Alice Hindman - A woman in her twenties who once felt deep love for a man who eventually left Winesburg behind. She is now gradually and unwillingly becoming an old maid.

Wash Williams - The Winesburg telegraph operator. A fat, filthy man, he despises the world–particularly women, whom he calls “bitches.”

Seth Richmond - A sensitive, deep-thinking young man, and a friend of George Willard.

Tandy Hard - A young woman whose first name comes from a drunkard’s speech about the perfect woman.

Curtis Hartman - The successful, popular minister of the Presbyterian Church. He struggles with the sexual temptation of peeping in at Kate Swift’s window while he writes his sermons.

Kate Swift - A Winesburg schoolteacher. She sees a “spark of genius” in George Willard and tries to encourage it, but she is also looking for love, and briefly allows him to embrace her in the newspaper office.

Enoch Robinson - A man from Winesburg who moves to New York and, in the grip of terrible loneliness, becomes slightly unhinged and populates his apartment with imaginary people.

Belle Carpenter - The daughter of a bookkeeper, she goes on walks with George Willard and even kisses him–mainly, however, to arouse the jealousy of the man she really wants, a local bartender named Handby.

Elmer Cowley - The son of a store owner. He feels terribly out of place in Winesburg, as if everyone is laughing at him, and is prone to hysterical outbursts. Two of these outbursts are directed at George Willard, who is intrigued by Elmer’s personality.

Ray Pearson - A married farm hand, about fifty years old, with a good reputation. He works alongside Hal Winters.

Hal Winters - A farm hand who works alongside Ray Pearson, and who has a reputation as a “bad one,” for his fights and relationship with women.

Tom Foster - A quiet, likable boy who moves to Winesburg from Cincinnati. He decides to get drunk one night, and finds it a remarkable experience.

Helen White - A local girl, who is romantically connected to both Seth Richmond and George Willard.
