==Summary==
Arthur Dent is the protagonist in Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Initially a hapless Earthling saved from the destruction of his home planet just before it's demolished to make way for an interstellar bypass, Arthur becomes an accidental and somewhat reluctant traveler through the cosmos. His character is defined by a remarkable normality and an acute sense of bewilderment in the face of the absurdity and chaos that pervade the universe.
