“A dill pickle” is mainly talk about two lovers—Vera and “He”—Who encountered each other in a coffee shop six years after their break-up and a chat was started. After reading this article, I will analyze the hero's character.
In general, from this conversation, we can see “he” is regarded as selfish and low self esteem---a real egoist. The information can be got from the following description:
“„she used to feel then as though he, quite suddenly, in the middle of what she was saying, put his hand over her lips„”
The man in the story seems not to respct for others. And he still not correct it after others to bring forward an opinion. To a certain extent, it reflects his selfishness .
\"…I was so miserable that I ran away and lived under a cart in our yard for two days without being discovered….\"
“„I have spent the last three years of my life travelling all the time. Spain, Corsica, Siberia, Russia, Egypt„”
The man in the story seems not to have a happy childhood and a good family background since he is “so miserable” and “ran away”.By contrast, before and after ,as can be seen from his words, he used to show off his way of life to hide their lack of self-esteem, strengthen his courage. From the description above, it can be perceived that the man is a real egoist.
