Character Role Analysis

Julian of Norwich, Richard of Caister

Kempe may be hard to like, but she does have fans and supporters who help her on the spiritual journey. She relies on clerics like her confessors Richard of Caister and Robert Spryngolde to assure her that the visions are not demonic and to read works of spirituality to her. The great female mystic Julian of Norwich provides invaluable encouragement, guidance, and sympathy to Kempe, if only for a few days.
