Quote #10
DRUMMOND. I can't imagine the world without Matthew Harrison Brady. (III, 593-95)
This line provides us insight into Drummond's complexity. First of all, once the competition is over, he's allowed to show compassion for his opponent. So, clearly, pinning people against each other in a gladiator-like arena can bring out the worst in folks. Plus, this brief quote shows how Drummond needs an opponent in order to feel most like himself. Brady wasn't just his Drummond's enemy; without the other half of his competitive dynamic duo, Drummond's kind of a humdrum dude.
