The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Characters Most of the characters in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas are complex. Not just the main characters, but many others as well. The Fury, Father and Shmuel are very important characters in the book who each have quite a lot of traits, which are shown through their emotions, personalities and actions. I think one of the most interesting characters is the Fury. He has been brought up a quite lot by the other characters. One of his obvious traits is that he is rude. It is mentioned quite a lot, therefore it must be important. After Bruno had encoun-tered the Fury he said to himself that the Fury was the rudest guest he had ever seen.

The head is father's seat, and with him knowing he is in a higher position he does whatever he wants.

No matter where he is inside or outside and around the house you can hear him yelling. When in the office, Bruno can hear him from upstairs pretty well yelling at mother and or the soldiers. These two traits tie together, part of the reason he’s the boss is because he’s loud, which makes him even more controlling and feared by the others so that they obey
