Analysis
Han Byeong-tae and Eom Seokdae are the characters' names, and Han fights against Eom until he is left with nothing. Only then does he fight to get Eom's respect, which takes a very long time. Finally, when Eom does recognize him even as his right hand man, a new teacher comes in and sees that Eom Seokdae is oppressing the boys. Only Han doesn't admit to Eom's wrongdoings, seemingly because he cannot understand giving up the power now that he has compromised all of his original beliefs of freedom.

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
