Orleanna Price Character Analysis

Orleanna is also a very important character in the plot of the Poisonwood Bible. Orlenna is very secretive about her views and thoughts and she raises suspicion about what is going to happen in the future. From her beginning chapter in Revelation, I feel that Orleanna is on the brink of leaving Nathan because she is becoming fed up with his neglect towards her and how he cannot change his views and values with the Congolese. Through Orleanna we can see how Nathan acts in situations and that he feels he is being tested by the Congolese just like Job in the Bible. I think that the only reason that Orleanna has stayed with Nathan is because of her children. It seems that she loves them a lot because she spends lots of time cooking and teaching them despite the difficulty of it.
