My favorite story out of the seven read is ā€œInterpreter of Maladiesā€ by Jhumpa Lahiri. In this story my favorite character would have to be the cab driver/tour guide, Mr. Kapasi. I think he became the most interesting because we were able to see a what he was thinking and the thought process behind his crazy imagination. He appeared to have been fascinated with having an almost romantic attraction to a tourist wife, Mrs.Das. The  story allowed us to read his sometimes explicit thoughts towards her throughout his tour. His feelings toward her changed in the end of the story which made it slightly comical to me. He seemed to have so quickly lost the once so intense attraction in the blink of an eye. 

 The characters of Mr.Kapasi and Mrs.Das would be the main characters because of how much backstory is provided about both of their lives. It made them the center of most every scene.  Out of all the interactions in the story,  the two most impactful were that of Mr.Kapasiā€™s initial fantasy of exchanging letters with Mrs. Das and the other would be when Mrs.Das confided in him to as a counselor by revealing the real father of her son Bobby. This changed the way Mr. Das thought of her and he knew she didnā€™t feel the same towards him. This brought his mind back to ā€œrealityā€. 

The main character, Mr. Kapasi follows two types of ethics: Utilitarian and Virtue. Utilitarian because he knew both him and Mrs.Das appeared to have failing marriages and he sought out to fix it in the begging. He also follows virtue because of his side job. His initial passion was not to be a tour guide but as an interpreter. He falls under the category of human flourishing or performing oneā€™s functions well.
