Which excerpt from "Good Country People" best exemplifies why the main character, Joy also known as Hulga is a traditional Southern gothic character? Since she was the type who had to be into everything, then, Mrs. Hopewell had decided, she would not only let her be into everything, she would see to it that she was into everything—she would give her the responsibility of everything, she would put her in charge. Hulga had learned to tolerate Mrs. Freeman who saved her from taking walks with her mother. Joy, whose constant outrage had obliterated every expression from her face, would stare just a little to the side of her, her eyes icy blue, with the look of someone who had achieved blindness by an act of will and means to keep it. Joy would get up while her mother was eating, and before long, Mrs. Freeman would arrive at the back door.
