Hanna’s character of being difficult to hear others opinion makes her really a narrow-minded person. “…she was absolutely single-minded, whether in
agreement or disagreement” p. 71. Everything that she wants to be, it must be going in that way as she wants Michael following her heart moods. Thus, Hanna
always shows her hard side and bad-tempered personality when facing something. She wants everything in her track and all the things that revolve around her must
be in her mind. “”I’m sorry, Hanna. Everything went wrong. I didn’t mean to upset you,
but it looks….” “It looks? You think it looks like you upset me. And will you please go, finally?”” p. 48.
The fact that Hanna is single and narrow minded seize her to be a bad- tempered person. She is really a bad-tempered person when the things are not in
the way she is thinking about. Hanna always faces something with angry face and mood. She wants everything perfect and Michael or others cannot stop her from
doing or deciding something. When Michael does the wrong thing she reacts with anger directly and it must always be Michael’s fault.
“How could you go just like that?” I put down the breakfast tray with the rose on it and wanted to take her in my arms. Don’t touch me.” She was
holding the narrow leather belt that she wore around her dress; she took a step backwards and hit me across the face with it. My lip split and I tasted
blood. It didn’t hurt. I was horrorstruck. She swung again” p. 54 - 55.
4.1.3.4 Egoistic
The fact that Hanna is living alone makes her definitely care about how to earn a living in her own beliefs. She is really protected toward something that she
is doing and doesn’t want others to take control over these things. When Hanna

met Michael, Hanna wants to control and decide everything. It is not just because Hanna is older than Michael, moreover, Hanna always has in mind that she must
win the power of games and take charge of everything about them. Hanna doesn’t want Michael to lead them into something especially about their relationship.
“When we made love, too, she took possession of me as a matter of course. Her mouth took mine, her tongue played with my tongue, she told
me where to touch her and how and when she rode me until she came, I was there only because she took pleasure in me and on me. I don’t mean to
say that she lacked tenderness and didn’t give up me pleasure. But she did it for her own playful enjoyment, until I learned to take possession of her
too” p. 33.
Hanna doesn’t want to hear Michael’s opinion or reason; why this or that happens. She ignores it anyway when Michael wants to get something clear about
their fighting. That is really selfish and egoistic. “What was the matter, what was the matter, you always ask such silly
questions. You can’t just leave like that” p. 56.
Thus, the egoistic and selfish personality that Hanna shows in her relationship with Michael makes her always wants to be dominant and superior. She is the one
who takes control and Michael must consider her condition and position. She does not want Michael to take control or make any decisions in their secret relationship.
It is always Hanna and Hanna leads all the things; neither Michael nor others. She is the only one who takes over to control and lead their game of love.
“If she had just wanted to win a power game. If she threatened, I instantly and unconditionally surrendered, I took all the blame. I admitted mistakes
I hadn’t made, intentions I’d never had” p. 49.
