Character Role Analysis

Christopher Robin

Christopher Robin also has a role in every chapter, and he's the catalyst for telling the tales in the first place, but he's almost never in the initial action of a story, and rarely involved in the conflict. Rather, he tends to come in at the end to solve the problem. He makes an appearance to tack on Eeyore's tail, for example (Winnie-the-Pooh.4), and to solve the argument between Tigger and Eeyore with a friendly game of Poohsticks (House.6).

In fact, Christopher Robin is mentioned secondarily nearly as often as he is a part of the action. Like any good mentor or guide, the other characters look to him for help, or think of him as an exemplar or role model of what they should do in a given situation.
