For example, in the beginning, the seemingly utopian relationship between Gene and Phineas showed how they are both good characters at heart. There was little to no conflict between the two, and there were no unfriendly feelings between them. However, as the story progresses, the reader sees how this relationship falls into decline, as Gene goes from being amiable to unstable and paranoid, while Finny is unfalteringly friendly. For example, as Gene and Phineas are getting ready to sleep at the beach, Phineas says to Gene, "You are [my best pal]." (41) Gene thinks about returning the compliment, but he does not.

Demonically Obsessive Passion: Looking Into The Screwtape Letters Society often views passion as the key to success, but is this always true? Robert J. Vallerand defines passion as “a strong inclination toward a self-defining activity that one likes (or even loves)”, and strongly believes not all passions are equal (Vallerand 1). He explains this using his Dualistic Model of Passion, consisting of two types of passions; harmonious passions, which are voluntarily engaged, and obsessive passions, which are uncontrollable. Using this model we can look at a character—Wormwood—from C. S. Lewis’ The Screwtape and observe the consequences of an obsessive passion. Wormwood is a demon from hell tasked with collecting the soul of a man, simply named the Patient, by distracting him from devoting his life to God.

The historical figure I admire is Jesse James, because he is in my family tree, he had avenged his mother’s death, and he had stood up for his “gang”. A bandit, robber, and rapist in some cases, but family to me. Listening to her was miraculous, hearing everything she knew about him Jesse James.

Without realizing it until he had been humiliated, Pete acted in the same way in hopes of being accepted by Maybelle that Richard did to him. He seemed to believe that in acting out of unquestioning devotion, he would achieve the same from her, and when she rejected him, out of anger and disappointment, he did the same to the reflection of himself. The characterization of Richard and his change in personality, and the irony of Pete’s unhappy ending portray how people are cruel to those who exhibit their own weaknesses. This also supports the theme of “treat people how you wish to be treated” because someone on both the giving and receiving sides of the spectrum of one-sided admiration can end up in the worst predicament once they lose not only their illusion of happiness, but also the respect they had already been
