Discuss the characterization of Norma and compare this to Arthur. Why does Mr. Steward believe Norma did not know Arthur?

Norma is described as a less humanitarian person who does not care who will die, since it is someone she does not know. This is different from how Arthur is characterized, as he is more concerned with the consequences of his actions.

Mr. Steward believed that Norma does not know Arthur because it is Arthur who is killed so that she receives the money.

Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "Button button" that tells the story of the couple Norma and Arthur who are going through financial problems. One day, they receive a box with a button on top and a note written by Mr. Steward, who states that they will receive $ 50,000 if they press the button on the box, but in doing so, a person they do not know will die.

Norma is very inconsequential and willing to press the button and receive the money, but Arthur is sorry because he is afraid that an innocent baby will be killed if they press the button.

Norma ends up pressing the button, after a while and Arthur ends up dying in a train accident, causing Norma to receive $ 50,000. Norma is embittered by this and asks Mr. Steward why her husband died and Mr. Steward replies that if he died, it is because Norma didn't really know him.
