It is obvious how Gene had reacted to the incident. It could be that he is not happy with who he is and feels guilty because he starts to believe that it was his sub-conscious that had made him shake the branch and cause Finny to fall and he is not satisfied with himself. He would rather be Finny than himself. Gene is depressed and confused with the paths his life was passing through and from the way the narrator protrays himself seems maybe naive and again,
Gene attended every meeting, although the plain truth was that he had no interest in going. To be a member of that club, Finny had established the need of jumping the tree. During one of those attempts, both Gene and Finny, were to jump together. But Gene jounced the limb while Finny was still on, and Finny lost his balance and landed flat on the ground. (Knowles60).Finny had shattered his leg and Dr. Standpole had declared him as unable to exercise athletic abilities.
It was so ludicrous I wanted to cry.” (Knowles 66) In addition, after Finny’s fall, Gene tells no one about what he has done. Gene ignores the fact that the guilt is deeply hurting him, and is unable to go to anyone with the truth of what he has done. Although Gene’s inability to trust is a prime factor on their flawed relationship, it is not the only one. Gene’s incapability to control his flashes of aggression is another factor in his and Finny’s broken friendship. When Gene and Finny are up on the big tree, Gene feels a surge of aggression, bends his knees, and knocks Finny off the branch.
He doesn't abide by society's rules and he certainly does not follow his own rules, seeing that he tends to make them up as he goes along. This forces Holden to act on impulse at times. It is this type of behavior that makes it difficult for people to tolerate Holden or even befriend him. It is also the reason he finds himself lonely very often. ~Throughout the novel the reader witnesses several situations where Holden acted out on pure impulse.
This negativity is expressed in everything he does. For instance when Meursault is convicted he doesn't try to defend himself. He doesn't believe in living and doesn't want to fight for his life. He clearly doesn't care and would rather be taken away from society to alienate himself once again. Meursault and Holden aren't the greatest with other people.
This does not sit well with Baba. He refuses his services, stating, “I swear on your mother’s face I’ll break his arm if he tries to touch me” (155). No one will ever understand why, but some people just do not like certain groups. Because Baba has so much self-pride, he discriminates against Russians. In doing so, he threatens the Russian doctor and refuses his services.
Lennie is mentally weak, George can’t reach his dream, and Curley resents being a smallish man and has napoleon complex. Weakness is simply a reality for everyone who lives on the ranch. On a ranch full of strong men, weakness is not really accepted, and people get criticized because of it. Because characters often know their weaknesses, they’re quick to try to cover for them, which spell confrontation. It’s a like bullying, characters weaknesses makes them feel insecure about themselves, so they fight and judge others to avoid having their flaws seen by
Intrinsically, Victor’s inability to neither comprehend his responsibility, nor feel compassion for the pain he has caused abets his corruption. While the monsters words are able to move him, he remains unable to see beyond the “filthy mass that moved and talked”. He can be seen as an emotional cripple, insensitive to anyone’s suffering but his own. He is introverted, frequently focusing on his own despair to the exclusion of others. Arrogance and conceit prevents him from considering himself really blamable.
Bryan Cabrera Professor McConnor English 101 3 March 2014 As life begins to unfold, goals are things that you desire or dream of achieving. They may change over time due to events that occur throughout life. It is easier to discuss what I will be doing than to actually take action. Due to this, I have been procrastinating my desire to overcome anxiety and developing an identity through my academics.
