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.
Han sees Eom arrested for a petty crime by accident. He was not going to see, only musing over what had happened to him. Eom seems unchanged (still controlling people, or at least trying to)

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“... 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)
