Ap English Literature
Throughout the history of English literature there has been a distinguished group of outcasts
known as the other. The characters who are typically labeled the others are individuals that are
perceived by a larger group as not belonging and are flawed in an essential way. The larger group
sets the standards for what is normal and what is not. If a character is not up to par with such set
