What can we say about the character development of Paul and Keller if we had to write a substantial paragraph on each?
The journey of the Paul and Keller on a superficial level, are in parallel to one another, in their pursuit for music perfection. However, through the obstacles that they face, the outcome of our protagonists fate become very polar to one another. The continuous praising of Paul's parents and Keller's obstinate musical practices shapes Paul to become rigid and arrogant. This is stark contrast to Keller, who finds Paul as an awakening call from his harsh reality and he is able develop a relationship with his pupil. However, rather than the pupil and the master complementing one another, and endeavorer for even further greatness, their relationship is poisonous and destructive to Paul. Thereby, Goldsworthy informs the audience that the exploration in the journey of the twin characters is one that is misfortunate and tragic.
