Harton Mangrove Character Analysis

One of the High Island Council’s five members. Harton is shown to be particularly corrupt, as he usurps the estate of a Nollopian whose family has been banished. At the end of the novel, when Ella is able to find the 32-letter pangram and the Council’s statutes are rescinded, Mangrove resigns and he subsequently attempts suicide.

All the Council members save Lyttle have tendered their resignations. Immediately thereafter Harton Mangrove attempted suicide with his necktie. It was a clumsy attempt and quickly foiled.
