The protagonist in H.P. Lovecraft’s “Herbert West: Reanimator” is a medical student who does not have a specific age mentioned in the text. However, given that he is a student at medical school and deeply involved in the research of reanimation alongside Herbert West, it can be inferred that he is likely in his early to mid-20s. The narrative suggests he is of a typical age for someone pursuing advanced studies, which during Lovecraft’s time would have been around that age. The focus of the story is more on the unfolding events and the moral implications of West’s experiments than on the exact ages of the characters.
