Character Role Analysis

Peter Hatcher / Fudge Hatcher

Peter and Fudge live under the same roof and share the same loving parents, but they're very different. Peter's the classic older brother. He's more responsible, less impulsive, and doesn't cause trouble. Fudge's constant troublemaking works to emphasize Peter's more mature and responsible behavior throughout the stories. Peter's self-control and good behavior make Fudge seem all the more reckless and rambunctious.
