The main character in the book Sold is Lakshmi. She is a young girl from Nepal. Lakshmi is from a poor family that has provided her with a strong work ethic we see present throughout most of the story. As she believes the money she is earning at the sex house is going back to her family. Being the main character, she doesn’t develop. She grows older, but everything else stays the same. For example her fears, desires, and emotions remain constant; they don’t fluctuate as things change around her. I mean she has emotions, but they aren’t exaggerated. For example it is apparent that she has anger against her stepfather and Mumtaz, but the anger is nothing more than her own thoughts. Her emotions aren’t expressed, they are bottled up inside. This is the reason the main character is constant throughout the story.
