Characters:
Wilbur:
A rambunctious pig, the runt of his litter, who loves life, even that of Zuckerman’s barn. He sometimes feels lonely or fearful.
Charlotte A. Cavatica:
Or simply Charlotte, is a spider who befriends Wilbur; she at first seems bloodthirsty due to her method of catching food.
Fern Arable:
Daughter of John Arable and Mrs. Arable, is the courageous eight-year-old girl who saves Wilbur in the beginning of the novel.
Templeton:
A gluttonous rat who helps Charlotte and Wilbur only when offered food. He serves as a somewhat caustic, self-serving comic relief to the plot.
Avery Arable:
The brother of Fern. He appears briefly throughout the novel.
Homer Zuckerman:
Fern’s uncle who keeps Wilbur in his barn. He has a wife, Edith, and an assistant named Lurvy who helps out around the barn.

A boy Fern’s age whom Fern becomes very fond of.
Uncle:
Wilbur’s rival at the fair, a large pig whom Charlotte doesn’t consider to be particularly refined.
Other animals:
Living in Zuckerman’s barn with whom Wilbur converses are a disdainful lamb, a goose who is constantly sitting on her eggs, and an old sheep.
