Who is Caleb Williams?

Caleb Williams is the story's protagonist and main character. He is employed by a man given to dark moods and bad temper. Caleb is moved to discover the cause of his employer’s personality which stands in direct contrast to his own. His mind is perhaps a bit too enquiring for his own good as once he manages to understand the source of his boss’ darkness, he becomes something of a prisoner to the man. He does manage to escape, but that freedom becomes a long, dark journey in itself in which Caleb’s life seems to be under the control of dark agents that almost seem to be intent on destroying the one thing which he values above all else: his good name.
