Ethan Frome is a very mysterious, man who is in love with Mattie Silver, but married to his wife, Zeena. The narrator describes Ethan as looking like "he is dead and in hell." Although, Ethan does not have a lot of courage. He is not brave enough to stand up to his wife and tell him that he is in love Mattie. He also does not have the courage to divorce his wife for Mattie.
"There was something bleak and unapproachable in his face, and he was so stiffened and grizzled that I took him for an old man and was surprised to hear that he wa not more than fifty-two" (pg. 11)
