The main character is the signalman, of course. He is the central figure around whom the story revolves.
In addition to the signalman and the narrator, there are other characters who are mentioned in passing, like the people on the train that the signalman is responsible for signalling to. However, they are not as central as the signalman and the narrator in driving the plot forward.
There is also the narrator in 'the signalman short story'. The narrator plays an important role as he interacts with the signalman and helps to tell the story from an outsider's perspective, while also getting drawn into the signalman's strange experiences.
The main characters are the signalman and the narrator.
The main character is surely the signalman himself. He is at the center of all the strange happenings.
Most likely the signalman himself. Since it's centered around his experience, he's probably the main character.
One of the main themes is isolation. The signalman is alone in his post, cut off from much of the outside world, which creates an atmosphere of loneliness and unease.
There is also a theme of the industrial age and its impact on individuals. The railway, which is a symbol of progress in the industrial age, is also the site of this spooky and tragic story. The signalman's job is a product of this new era, yet he is haunted by forces that seem to be beyond human understanding. This shows the contrast between the rational world of industry and the irrational world of the supernatural.
The story plays with the idea of the supernatural. The apparitions that the signalman sees could be a product of his overworked and stressed mind, or they could be real ghosts. Dickens uses this ambiguity to great effect, keeping the reader in suspense. For example, the way the figure always appears before a tragic event on the railway line is very spooky.
No, it's not. Jack the Signalman is likely a fictional tale.
