Ist diese Charakterisierung von "Mr Mumsford" gut ?

Hallo,

ich habe eine Charakterisierung von der Kurzgeschichte "Mr Mumsford" gemacht,Meine Frage: ist die so richtig oder falsch?

Theshort story “ Mr Mumsford” by Larry French is about care andrespect other people.

Theprotagonist and round character, Ralph Mumsford, works as a janitorat a small southern school in America. He is a six feet tall and veryblack man who is not really intelligent.

RalphMumsford is calling from the other teachers and students with thenickname 'Bibs' which he do not like. So he decides to kill theprincipal of the school. After the principal came out of his office,Ralph stepped out in front of him and said “ I come to kill you”(l. 15). That shows that he is very direct and have no small talkwith the principal. Also he is really nervous and afraid because henever killed someone before “ Beads of sweat...clenched the bat..”(l.13). Another import fact is that Ralph Mumsford shows interest inthe students because he says “Hell, I know more'n half of theirnames and where they live.” (l.25) He seems to be very religious ashe says in line 36 “ A Christian man ought to always eat the suppermeal with his wife.” As he is a religious man means that he maynot kill some people because in the Bible stands that you may notkill other people.

Allthings considered, Ralph Mumsford seems to be a nervous man who isfrustrated and injured that everyone calling him Bibs. As he does nothide his feeling he is revengeful.
