In the “Palace Thief, we see a change in character behavior arise between Mr. Hundert. and Sedgewick, Mr. Hundert and Senator Bell, and Mr. Hundert and Charles Ellerby.

There is one force in this world that is constant which is change, stagnation gives way to degradation and death. Nothing is safe from change, not even people, every day we change whether it be physically, spiritually, or mentally.

He is a bastion of static in a world of change, and Sedgewick Bell uses this to his advantage.
To manipulate, to handle or control in a skillful manner, to manage and to influence; Ethan Canin’s “The Palace Thief” showcases these actions in the relationship and interactions between a “sovereign” and a “potentate”. Hundert, the main character and narrator of Canin’s short story, views himself as the sovereign. With this, Hundert was also naïve, weak, and easily influenced. Hundert’s student, the potentate, – a false one in Hundert’s eyes – Sedgewick Bell, uses the stated characteristics to his advantage, manipulating Hundert not once, but thrice over the course of many years. Although Hundert recognizes that a “viper is a viper” (Canin, 173), he never acquired the ability to fully understand what he stated, for its meaning applied not only to Sedgewick but also to himself.
