In the Western world, trolls are often depicted as stupid yet dangerous creatures; however, despite his appearance, the Little Man does not embody those characteristics. Instead, the Little Man is equally if not more knowledgeable and aware than Lisamarie; his complexity mirrors that of the protagonist. Lisamarie learns with time that “the pattern of the little man’s visits [was] unwelcomely obvious” and that there was something to be learned from his visits (Robinson 34). The juxtaposition between the Little Man’s elusive mentorship and simultaneous haunting of Lisamarie brings to light the ambiguity surrounding his motivations and his goals, which Lisamarie is unable to resolve. Again, the lack of clarity in what drives the Little Man prevents him from being categorized as “good” or “evil” or being a traditional “antagonist”.
