Which character from The Miracle Worker could be described as a "miracle worker?"

The Miracle Worker is based on true events in the life of Helen Keller.  When she was very young, Helen became blind and deaf.  Her parents, unsure of how to help her, raised Helen with little structure and no formal education.  They hired a teacher, Anne Sullivan, to come to their home to help Helen.  Anne found Helen to be a lost and "wild" child, who did almost anything she wanted in the Keller home.  Anne did what everyone thought was impossible.  She taught Helen to communicate.  She did this after many attempts.  Over and over, she signed words into Helen's palm.  Helen did not understand that each word was for a certain thing.  Then one day, Helen held her hand under a water pump.  As the water flowed into Helen's hand, Anne signed the letters "W-A-T-E-R."  Suddenly, Helen understood that "water" was the cool liquid flowing onto her hand.  After that, she became an eager learner.  Anne was Helen's teacher for years, and she taught her to read and write.  Mark Twain later called Anne Sullivan a "miracle worker," which is where the title of the play came from.

Who are the dynamic and static characters in The Miracle Worker and why?

The Miracle Worker by William Gibson is a play about Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan, particularly the influence Annie has on Helen and her family. Helen Keller was left blind and deaf after an illness as a baby and the play starts with that event. Having survived, Helen must learn to communicate but her efforts are mostly unsuccessful and her family's pity means that Helen is allowed to behave inappropriately. Annie's first hurdle is to teach Helen some manners.

Dynamic characters are those who undergo significant change. The most significant of these would be both Annie and Helen who change and develop throughout the play which makes them dynamic characters. Annie teaches Helen and reveals her enormous compassion and patience, even though she is quite headstrong. She is determined not to let Helen down, especially as she feels a burden of guilt for the circumstances surrounding her own (late) brother, Jimmie. Kate Keller does come around to Annie's methods and eventually reveals herself as a dynamic character even if, at first, it seem unlikely. By the end she is ready to learn how to help Helen. She knows that pity is not the answer and understands that Helen's willingness to fold her napkin is a huge step forward.  

Static characters refer to those characters who are much the same at the end (of the play) as they are in the beginning. Keller would be the most obvious as from the beginning he has been skeptical. In Act I, he reveals that he is resigned to accepting Helen just the way she is no matter how inappropriate her behavior, suggesting that it would be pointless "rushing up and down the country every time someone hears of a new quack." He does not feel that anything else can be done. By Act III, he still has little faith in Annie's abilities to teach Helen anything. He comments that "you're the difficulty, Miss Annie" revealing his mistrust of Annie's methods or even her suitability for the task. 

James remains a static character in terms of is relationship with his father and although there are instances when he defends Annie or Helen, he does not expect anything to change. He says "I think we've started all over" when Helen has a temper tantrum at the table in Act III and his father simply dismisses his opinion when he tries to state one. 

Who is Kate in The Miracle Worker?

In William Gibson's play The Miracle Worker, Kate Keller is Helen Keller's mother and the second wife of Arthur Keller. She loves her daughter fiercely and is willing to do anything it takes to provide her a chance at a normal life.

When Helen is a baby, Kate is the first one to notice her physical disabilities. As Helen grows older, though Kate loves her, she is unable to adequately care for her. A naturally kind and sweet-tempered woman, Kate is hesitant to discipline Helen, because she fears that Helen won't understand what is happening to her. She champions her daughter's independence and fights to keep her from being sent to an institution.

Kate is also the member of the Keller family who is most interested in trying whatever it takes to help Helen. While Arthur and Helen's half-brother James become dismissive of the various treatments presented to aid Helen, Kate is relentlessly optimistic and persevering. She encourages Arthur to write to different specialists and seek out help wherever it can be found, despite his reluctance.

Keller. Katie. How many times can you let them break your heart?

Kate. Any number of times.

Annie Sullivan is just the latest in a series of attempts to give her daughter a better life. This is part of why she is so supportive of Annie's methods even when her husband disagrees with them. Though she still struggles to discipline her daughter, she believes Annie is the best chance of Helen learning to live with her disabilities.

Who is Kate in The Miracle Worker?

Catherine Everett Adams, known to her family as Kate, was born into an upper-class family in the Confederacy in 1856. Her father served as an officer in the Confederate Army, as did her future husband, Arthur Keller, who was twenty years older than Kate. In 1880, Kate and Arthur became the parents of Helen Keller.

William Gibson's play The Miracle Worker is primarily about the relationship between Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan. This reflects Keller's own autobiographical writings, in which Sullivan appears as the central figure of her early years. Kate Keller, therefore, is often relegated to the background, despite being Helen's mother. Kate is portrayed as a kindly and loving mother who does everything she can to teach her daughter to communicate. It is the skills, rather than the motivation, that she lacks. However, she regards Helen as being helpless and continues to treat her as a baby throughout her childhood.

Kate generally seems to cope well with the special bond that her daughter forges with another woman. However, she is a lonely figure at the end of the play, when Helen spells into her hand not the word "mother" but "teacher." Gibson describes this moment as one "in which she simultaneously finds and loses a child." At the end of the play, Kate goes into the house, leaving Helen and Annie together in the garden.

What would be the best description for Kate in The Miracle Worker?

The Miracle Worker by William Gibson was originally written for television and was adapted for the stage, opening on Broadway in 1959. It is based on the true story of Annie Sullivan's attempts to teach the blind and deaf Helen Keller when Helen was seven years old. Kate Keller is Helen's mother, the second wife of Captain Arthur Keller. Kate is much younger than her husband and is also step-mother to James, Helen's half brother.

Kate is a loving, indulgent mother but this has allowed Helen to become unruly and basically unmanageable. She is anxious to try anything to help her daughter and manages to persuade Helen's dominant father that Annie Sullivan, whom he is inclined to dismiss, should be given a chance because she knows that Helen has potential, desperately mentioning that "It’s still in her, somewhere, isn’t it?" (Act II) . It is very difficult for Kate to relinquish control of Helen to Annie but she knows that, otherwise, Helen will no doubt be sent to an institution, "an asylum."

Helen touches her cheek to indicate that she is looking for her mother but Annie insists that the only way to help Helen is to not give in to her all the time and so Kate agrees because she recognizes the truth in Annie's words - "I don’t think Helen’s worst handicap is deafness or blindness. I think it’s your love. And pity." She is encouraged by Helen's folding of her napkin, a huge step forward for the otherwise petulant child. Despite the many setbacks, she believes in Annie and Helen's development is phenomenal.
