Dynamic Characters

All of the characters in Hunters in the Snow take on a dynamic change. First, Kenny the more assertive, abusive one, who kills the dog is the one who ends up helpless in the back of the truck. Second, Frank the one constantly poking fun at Tub becomes sensitive by the end of the story when the two are able to share their "secrets". Tub, also in this point in the story becomes more accepting of himself, because Frank is able to actually treat him as a human. He also reveals how his diet and health issue is fake. I'm not really sure I would consider these changes permanent. For one, Kenny was only physically changed throughout the story and had no choice. I also believe that Frank's reaction to Tub was just because Tub actually got mad at him, and it might have frightened Frank. Overall, these sort of dynamic changes prove that sometimes the worse situations bring out the best in people, even if the effects do not linger.
