I'm not sure who the main characters are without reading the book. But they could be ordinary people facing extraordinary situations based on the title's vagueness about specific character types.
Since I haven't read 'First Angle and Other Stories', it's hard to say exactly who the main characters are. However, considering the title, the main characters might be individuals who are in a position to offer a 'first angle' on events or experiences. They could be storytellers or observers of some sort. Maybe there are a set of characters who each have their own story to tell, and through their different perspectives (the 'first angle' for each of them), the overall collection of 'other stories' is formed.
I think the main themes in 'First Angle and Other Stories' may include perception and reality. The 'first angle' might be the starting point of how characters perceive things, and the 'other stories' could explore how that perception changes or is challenged. Another theme could be the power of storytelling itself. Each story within the collection could be a different exploration of how stories are told from a particular angle, and how they can shape our understanding of the world and the people in it.
I'm not entirely sure without reading it more closely, but typically there would be a protagonist who drives the story forward.
I'm not sure as the information about the main characters isn't given just from the title 'First Love and Other Stories'. But usually in stories about first love, there could be young protagonists, perhaps a boy and a girl who are experiencing love for the first time.
I'm not sure exactly as I haven't listened to this audiobook. But usually in stories about first love, there would be young protagonists, perhaps a boy and a girl who are at the center of the love story.
There's also Kanade Tachibana. She has a mysterious past and her interactions with Otonashi are very interesting. And Hinata is a key character too. He is a friendly and energetic person who adds a lot of humor to the story.
In 'First Love', the main character is a young boy who experiences his first love. There are also other characters like his father who play important roles in the story.
One of the main characters is likely Alibaba. He is a central figure in the famous story related to him. There may be other characters like the thieves in the 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' story.
Since it's 'The Monster and Other Stories', there may be a group of adventurers as main characters. They might be on a quest that leads them to encounter the monster. Each of them could have different personalities and skills. For instance, one could be strong and fearless, while another is intelligent and good at solving puzzles. And of course, the monster itself could also be considered a main character in a way, as it drives the action and conflict in the stories.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the specific 'neighbors and other stories'. It could be the neighbors themselves, perhaps an old couple next door, a young family, or a single person living alone.
Given the title, it's likely that the main characters are the 'other women'. These could be women from different walks of life, each with their own story to tell. There may also be other supporting characters like friends or family members who influence or are affected by the situations these other women are in.
