Why does Gibson display Case as a stock character at some instances?<\/p>\n
Throughout time people perpetuate an unfortunate truth; hypocrisy, and Gibson\u2019s \u201candroids\u201d follow the same suit. Although the appearance of a hypocritical character may seem overly trite, it compliments a character\u2019s persona, showing a sense of realism. Considering how Gibson\u2019s novel detours his audience from acknowledging that throughout all this technology, the protagonist is still a human being, one has to question how Gibson reminds his reader. \u00a0Fortunately, Gibson helps his readers by showcasing human vulnerability.<\/p>\n
From the beginning of chapter eighteen, the narrator describes Case\u2019s outlook on the notorious head honchos as \u201clack of feeling\u201d(203), revealing a sense of contrast between a leader and the worker. From this delivered monologue, Case does not consider himself as an indifferent person, when in fact he fits the same category of these cigarette-hazed men. Once Case talks with Finn, Finn reveals Case\u2019s absence of morality \u201cYou wanna get the enzyme\u201d(205) showing that Case cares little for the fact that Armitage died, but that he only cares about his own health. At this instance, Gibson displays the intentions of every character in that they are only out to save themselves and no one else. In other words, they are no different than the so-called totalitarian that barks orders over his staff, caring little if they survive while performing their duties. Furthermore, the shear fact that Case cares little for the details as to why Armitage was meant to die amplify Case\u2019s self-serving attitude. From this outlook, Case diminishes the idea of having any sense of righteousness, since he cares little for the sacrifices made to attain his goal; displaying an antihero. Lastly, it shows that Case is as vile as any other person, but ultimately fails to see it.<\/p>\n
Conclusively, though Gibson\u2019s protagonist displays trite qualities, Gibson has reasonable reasons as to why he choses to display Case as such. Not only does it avoid from making Case appear as an unrealistic person, but it also adds a sense of reality in Gibson\u2019s technological cluster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
