Cruelty In The Chocolate War

163 Words1 Pages
In the book, the Chocolate War Archie Costello throughout the book reaches levels of cruelty that are unbelievable. Archie manipulates anyone who stands in his way or anyone he simply decides is fun to manipulate. At the beginning, Archie seemed mean, but he didn't seem like a psycho; but while reading the book Archie became more and more crazy. When Archie undertakes the chocolate sale, he makes Jerry refuse the chocolates which is weird, which makes it more difficult to fulfill his responsibility. What he is really doing, however, is setting up both Jerry and Brother Leon for a tragic downfall. Knowing their personalities and vulnerabilities; he comes up with plans to ruin people's life. My opinion of Archie is that he is an awful person.
