Blackmail is a piece of narration and it emphas on nature of characters through the vivid plots. The three figures, the Duke, the Duchess and the detective hold different characteristics. The first character, the Duke was fond of liquor and other men’s wives. This point was proved by the detective in the passage, he said that before the car accident happened the Duke took a lady friend and had a drink. Besides he is also cowardly and submissive to his wife. In the whole passage the Duke had the least words but his behavior implicated his cowardice.
