Ch.9 (entry #1)

The character of Valencia Pilgrim is best described as static. Throughout SH 5 we only really see one part of Valencia, and that is her undying love for her husband Billy. A static character does not change much over the course of a story, and Valencia does not change but loves and cares for Billy always. Whenever Valencia comes into the story she always expresses her love for Billy in one way or another because "Valencia adored Billy" (Vonnegut 182). However; Billy does not show much affection at all for his wife as she does for him.
