Assasin In The Sun: The Character Of Noah Calhoun

Lastly, the story wouldn’t be a success if it wasn’t for its main characters Noah and Allie. Noah Calhoun is not only the narrator of the entire book, but he is also the main protagonist. He is perceived in the book as every woman’s ideal man. He’s faithful, idealistic, strong, good-looking, and helpful to all those in need. Noah represents true love, true faith, and true artistry. It shows by how he remains true to Allie in the book even though he might not ever see her again. Even as Noah got older in the book, he still exhibited the same characteristics in his senior life as he had in his young adult life. He stays dedicated to Allie in the nursing home, even though he knows might never remember him. As he gets older and closer to

I am a common man with common thoughts, and i’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but i’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.” To sum it all up Noah Calhoun’s was the dream man for every woman who has read the book, a great representation that there are some amazing guys out there and that love is real.
