Pygmy

Main Characters and Their Development

• Pygmy (Agent 67) — the main character and narrator of the book, a young terrorist sent to the USA under the guise of an exchange student. Throughout the narrative, he faces cultural shock, internal conflicts, and begins to question his beliefs and mission.

• Mrs. Seaver — the mother of the family, who tries to connect with Pygmy and shows him care.
• Johnson Seaver — the son of the family, a typical American teenager who initially mocks Pygmy but later comes to respect him.
• Seaver's Sister — the daughter of the family, who also goes through a process of acceptance and understanding of Pygmy.
