the character i dislike in the book chains by Laurie Halse Anderson would have to be miss Lockton/Madam

I dislike Madam because she has a past of being very violent with her slaves for not doing something they were told or if they did it wrong. One instance an old slave didn't do something she was told and talked back so Madam beat her and broke her arm and then the arm didn't heal right so the slaves arm was useless and was just limp. Another moment that made me not like her was when she sold the main characters baby sister who is only five with out her knowing. another moment is when Isabel found out the next morning she confronted Madam about it so Madam threw a picture frame at her and made her start bleeding from her forehead after that Isabel ran away and Madam found her so she had her drug by a horse tied to a rope back to the prison where it was wet damp and cold with no food, rats and a crazy lady. Then she had her branded on the check with an I in front of anybody and everybody who wanted to watch.
