Does anyone else feel Mother Abigail is annoying? I'm sorry, but she's possibly the most grating character King has ever created. I'm re-reading The Stand, and I've never actively liked or disliked her, but sheesh! This time... Ugh. Her off-handed comments judging Democrats, Catholics, young people, etc. as well as the way she carries herself in every situation get to be a bit much. She's just so....pompous. I know she
and she is!
I just feel this character would have been written different (i.e. better) had she been written later on in King's career. And this is honestly sad to me because I feel the other characters in The Stand are SO well-written.
I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I'm just curious if ANYONE here doesn't like--or at least gets annoyed by--Mother Abigail. Surely I'm not the only one!
disappears late in the novel because she feels she's prideful
