Ursula Monkton

Ursula fascinates me in the novel because she is depicted as the evil character, but her appearance  is described as sweet, nice, and pretty. This disguise of a young, pretty women is misleading and helps make her character more interesting and mysterious. The idea of disguise also shows that not everything is as it seems and the outside appearance does not always correctly depict a person. For example, the Hempstock's on the outside look like a normal family, but as the reader goes deeper into their life they discover a whole magical and mysterious world.
       Ursula is the evil character in the novel, but her innocent appearance also helps show that she does not believe her own actions are evil. Ursula believes she is making people happy in the novel and is giving them what they want, thus her appearance is parallel with how she views herself.
