In “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber, the protagonist, Walter Mitty, is composed of three unique traits. Although the author does not state them directly, we can use Walter’s actions and speech to predict his character and personality. In my viewpoint, I see Walter Mitty as absent-minded, imaginative, and stubborn. To begin with, we can predict that Walter Mitty is absent-minded because of his constant daydreaming and not paying attention to what he’s doing or the people he’s talking to. After Walter dropped off his wife at her hair appointment, he began to do his shopping. He picked up his overshoes and “began to wonder what the other thing was his wife had told him to get.” This shows that Walter Mitty forgets things often.
