Sister Aloysius Beauvier
Sister Aloysius is in her fifties or sixties, and wears a black bonnet, a black habit, and rimless glasses. The the principal of St. Nicholas Church School in the Bronx, Sister Aloysius is rigid and conservative in her vision of education, watchful over her teachers and students, and firm about the hierarchy of the church and its disciplinary methods. Before she became a nun, Sister Aloysius was married, but her husband died in World War II. She is sharply intelligent, and often wields her intelligence as a weapon. Despite her traditional view of the church’s system of justice, when she suspects Father Flynn (her superior in the hierarchy of the church) of misconduct, Sister Aloysius is willing to reach outside of the patriarchal rules and resolve the matter herself. While her dedication to justice and protecting the students is admirable, her insistence on banishing any doubts that don’t align with her narrative narrows her view considerably. She firmly believes that “when you take a step to address wrongdoing, you are taking a step away from God, but in his service.”
Father Brendan Flynn
Father Flynn is a working-class Northeasterner turned well-liked priest and teacher in his mid-to-late thirties. His goal is “progressive education and a well-rounded church,” making him popular with the students, but unpopular with the traditional principal Sister Aloysius. Sometimes, his progressive nature blurs the boundary between his position as priest and the role he plays as “friend” to some of the students. His sermons are engaging and clear, though he does use fabrications to support his points: “The truth makes for a bad sermon,” he tells Sister James. “It tends to be confusing and have no clear conclusion.” Father’s Flynn’s belief that all humans are struggling to make sense of their doubts is a comforting notion to his parishioners, but is also an easy escape from accountability for their mistakes.
Sister James
Sister James, in her twenties, is a young nun and teacher at the St. Nicholas Church School. Though she’s at times overwhelmed by her eighth-grade students, she does her best to resolve any issues herself. Sister James is an enthusiastic teacher who loves history, though according to Sister Aloysius, her teaching methods verge a bit towards the performative. Sister James is sensitive and eager to forgive and forget, so she struggles to make sense of the conflict between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn. Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position for Sister James, and she longs for a world where things are clear, people tell the truth, and all have good intentions.
The mother of Donald Muller, an African-American student who recently transferred to St. Nicholas Church School. Mrs. Muller aims to make a good impression, dressed in her Sunday best to meet with Sister Aloysius. Mrs. Muller is intelligent and fully aware that her race is a factor in her treatment and the treatment of her son, and she pulls no punches. She is fiercely protective of her son, although she knows that her husband beats Donald, perhaps because he is effeminate. While she doesn’t blame her son for his possible illicit relationship with the Father, Mrs. Muller truly believes that “sometimes things aren’t black and white.” Out of love for her son and hope for his successful future, she urges Sister Aloysius to just get him through the year, regardless of what she thinks happened.
