Burge McCall:)

Mr. Burge McCall was chief clerk and made a good salary, but he was stingy with his wife. He hated her, and he hadn't liked the way she looked at him.
Mrs. McCall, his wife, was a thin tall woman, and she never had much to say- she never answered him when he called her names. That made him start hating her because he wanted to fight with her.

At the beginning of the story, the relationship between those two characters is terrible. Mr. McCall behaves to his wife terribly and is intolerant- he is stingy with her, calls her names and is even violent to her. Mrs. McCall never answered him and stays calm- , which angers him more. They really don't get along.

Later, in some phase, Mrs. McCall decide to do some move, which is the turning point that leads to the change.
She causes Mr. McCall to think that she is going to poison him with rat poison. He is afraid to eat something at home and begins to toady to her. He becomes more generous, caring, considerate and pampers her. He starts to take her to the movies and to picnics, and he speaks nicely because he is afraid of upseting her.

To conclude, Mr. and Mrs. McCall are a very strange couple. In my opinion, although in the end of the story Mrs. McCall got what she wanted, their way to solve problems is wrong and mistaken.
