The Fair Gwen In the novel, Freak the Mighty, Gwen or The Fair Gwen is a main character. The Fair Gwen, a beautiful woman, is Kevin's mother. Gwen also has history with Maxwell's mother, for they had been friend had been good and had even gotten pregnant at the same time. Although, one reading the novel might infer that The Fair Gwen is also very caring, for she tends to Freak and has incredible patience. We can see this when the book states," 'She said-she especially wanted me to tell you this, Max-she sais she's delighted that you and Kevin are going to be friends...And she's inviting you to supper"(Pg. 23). This shows that The Fair Gwen is caring because she never had to invite Max after supper, but because she cared, she didn't to get off to a fresh start and get to know Maxwell after the bad encounter. The Fair Gwen is also very frightened for she is generally generally a worried about Freak's short life span . We can see this when the book says, " 'Sssssh! The Fair Gwen must not know of the plan. The very idea strikes fear into her heart.'" (Pg. 88). Little does Max know that what Gwen is really scared is not the bionic transformation, but the fact that Kevin will pass away soon. Therefore, the Fair Gwen is caring, nice person, who is also very nervous and frightened deep within. (Stephanie Santillanez)
