Marcus And Newt Character Analysis

231 Words1 Pages
The fight between Newt and Marcus at the end of the novel was foreshadowed throughout the book. Since the beginning of the book, Newt and Marcus have developed a rocky relationship. The first incident was when they were debating over the fight about Jake Kiner. Newt “had won… and Marcus knew it- but he wasn’t forgetting it” (40). Already, Newt and Marcus have tension between them. Throughout the book, Marcus has never liked Newt because he has always won over him. Another example is at the free-for-all fight, when Newt eventually beats Marcus for the victory. This is another occurrence of Newt winning over Marcus. Finally, after Newt reveals that Booker killed Jake, Marcus was bound to kill Newt. He has had enough of Newt being triumphant.
