Not Sula Sula is not the villain. Although, Sula has completed a lot of heinous acts, none of them were malicious. Sula’s first heinous act, that harmed someone, was the death of Chicken. When Chicken entered the text, on page 130, Nel immediately began to berate him, Sula then stood up for Chicken and helped him climb a tree. Furthermore, Sula was very nurturing to Chicken when helping him climb a tree, for she offered words of encouragement and comfort. Chicken’s death was the result of Sula and him playing; his death was not intentional. The second heinous act, was placing Eva in a nursing home. Sula’s reasons for placing Eva in the Beechnut is still unknown to me, but I understand why Sula felt she had no obligation to take care Eva.
