# Ozème — Short Fiction character guide

> Ozème in Short Fiction by Kate Chopin.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mista Ozème

**First appearance:** 0061-oz-me-s-holiday

## Snapshot

A mild-eyed plantation hand of thirty-five who takes his annual week's holiday in his best St. Louis suit and lets the road decide everything.

## Who they are

Ozème works faithfully all year for the sake of one wandering week along Cane River, dressed regardless of cost and free of any plan sturdier than a fish-fry or a ball. When he learns the Fédeaus are away, he turns down a back road on a whim, half-hoping to find old Aunt Tildy's cabin and a good meal. His easy, unhurried goodwill is the story's engine—chance encounters matter more to him than destinations.
