Brief description of the characters from "all summer in a day"

Margot is a delicate and pale child, one who keeps to herself. Having moved to Venus at the age of 4, she can remember life without the constant drumming of raindrops, life with golden sunshine. Because the other children have only memories of Venus and its wet atmosphere, they cannot understand Margot and her longing for a different life. This difference in perspectives creates in Margot an easy target for bullying; it also causes her to remain apart from the other 9-year-olds, giving her an air of loneliness and sadness.

William is the main bully, the character who might be said to embody the feelings of the rest of the children and the one who goads them on. Acting, perhaps, from a sense of jealousy and the inability to understand Margot, he speaks harshly to her and shoves her, encouraging the other children to treat her in the same hostile manner. Bradbury does not describe William’s physical characteristics, so the character might be understood to be a type for bullies’ actions, not their appearances.

Margot and William are the only named characters in the story, with the rest of the students in the classroom being referred to en masse as the children. These children are followers; they support William’s actions and don't consider how their actions will affect Margot. Their thoughtlessness doesn’t extend merely to Margot, either. By following William blindly, they don’t consider the impact their actions might have on their own feelings. They are creatures of the moment, and they experience enjoyment and displeasure according to the nature of the strongest stimulus in front of them.

The teacher is neither named nor described by Bradbury, making her more of a token outside authority than a true part of the children’s world. She performs her teacher’s duties, reprimanding William for being cruel to Margot, but only in a limited capacity; she ultimately doesn’t see or understand what is happening with the children. The children, then, might be seen as governing themselves despite the seeming presence of authority.
