Character Sketch

Karen Green
  • Former model
Pg. 11: "Once a model with the Ford Agency in New York, she has since put behind her the life of Milan fashion shoots and Venetian Masques in order to raise her two children.
  • Practical to a fault
Pg. 30: "Karen refuses the knowledge (of the inconsistency in measurement of the house). A reluctant Eve who prefers tangerines to apples. "I don't care," she tells Navidson. "Stop drilling holes in my walls." Later in the text, she resorts to phone calls to her mother and friends to deter thinking about what is occurring in the house.
  • Gatherer
Pg. 37: "She remains watchful and willing to let the bizarre dimensions of her house gestate within her. She challenges its irregularity by introducing normalcy: her friend's presence, bookshelves, peaceful conversation. In this respect, Karen acts as the quintessential gatherer".
