The protagonist of Million Pounds is Henry. The brief introduction is as follows:

In the opening part of **, Henry drives a small sailboat and drifts into the sea because he has gone too far. Later, he was rescued by a brig bound for London, where he barely survived by paying for his work. Arriving in London, Henry was left unaccompanied, and after using up the last dollar he had, he was left without food and clothing.

As Henry hungrily stumbled on Portland Square, a child threw a bitten pear into the gutter. Since then, Henry's fate has changed.

After going through all kinds of active credit payments, Henry moved into a luxury hotel in Hanover Square for the wealthy, and became one of the most famous people in the world's largest metropolis. While attending a banquet hosted by the American Minister, he met the beautiful and lovely English girl Bo Xia and fell in love with her.

It was only when he returned to the hotel, when Lloyd praised the comforts and luxuries that Henry returned from heaven to reality. It was at this time that he profoundly realized that he was in debt and penniless in the world. Even a love affair with a lovely girl can be stranded by her own poverty.

Just when the reader laments that he is hopeless and has a tragic fate, Lloyd's appearance brings Henry back to life. Through his own role as the owner of millions of pounds, Henry vouched for Lloyd's mines. After selling the mine, Henry and Lloyd each added a million dollars to their accounts, and they became truly wealthy.

At the end of the **, after meeting with the two English gentleman brothers, Henry arrogantly refuses the offer of a position for Gentleman B. Who knew that Boxia was his adopted daughter. Henry immediately expressed remorse and said straight to the point that he wanted to retract what he had just said.

The main name of "Million Pounds" is Henry Adams.

Character introduction. At the beginning of the story, when the rich brother makes a bet, the brother thinks that Henry's final outcome is starvation, because he can't prove that the money is his own, and will be suspicious of others, and even the bank will not let him save the money. The younger brother thought he would do well.

So the brothers lent the poor man a cheque for a million pounds and went abroad for thirty days.

Here, an opportunity arises to test humanity. When Henry first opened the rich man's envelope and found the millions of bills inside, his first thought was that they must have made a mistake, and then he was going to run to the rich man's house to return the money, but when he learned from the servant that everything would be fine, Henry was more worried about the money falling from the sky.

He was afraid that the rich man would be in a hurry, he was afraid that the police would arrest him, and at this time, we still see a poor but honest Henry, who did not have the idea of taking the money for himself, but went to return it to the rich man. Later, in the glow of the check, Henry finds himself in higher standing because of the money that was not his own.

He was "universally respected" by people, valued by more people, favored by a rich man, and married a rich man's daughter as a wife, and his heart also changed. The process of change was gradual, from honesty to returning other people's money to enjoying everything that this money brings, and Henry was also tormented by his own heart.

At the same time, fear eats at him, even as he sleeps in the dead of night in a gorgeous and comfortable hotel, he also fears that his secrets will be revealed. And then step by step, it developed into his sigh that "once you go into the water, you have to swim through, otherwise you will be drowned". ** Using a detailed psychological description of Henry, he depicts Henry's changes step by step, from being honest at the beginning to falling into it step by step.

This step-by-step characterization makes the story develop reasonably and naturally, which can make readers better accept the development of the plot. Therefore, the step-by-step character portrayal is another highlight of the project. It more vividly illustrates the gradual change of people's values by money worship.
