Sara Teasdale
1950
The theme is that technology is harmful to man (as evidenced by the bomb) but nature will always beat technology (as evidenced by the tree falling and knocking over the chemicals, creating the fire that burns down the house.) I find the above view to be inadequate. I think Bradbury was writing a poignant poem, lauding man's great accomplishments, but expressing sadness over our capacity to destroy ourselves. It showed our great works outliving us, still trying to serve us, but without our spark, our creativity and our presence to maintain it, it inevitably perished.
The characters of a story are the people in it. You can have main characters (characters that have a large part in the story) or minor characters (they might be mentioned or only have small dialogue). I hope this answered your question!

Ray Bradbury wrote There Will Come Soft Rains based on a poem by Sara Teasdale also called There Will Come Soft Rains (the poem is in the story). If you are asking what possessed him to write it, I'm not sure. Perhaps he read the poem and was inspired to write his short story? I'm not sure, but when I read the poem, I was sort of inspired to write something myself. Other than that, I don't know if anyone but the man himself would know why. Sorry this isn't very helpful, I just wanted to try to help.
