Re: Dennison and Sadism
Had to second that last sentence you wrote. I also want to add in that he motivates by power and success as well as money.funninessishappiness wrote: ↑12 Apr 2020, 21:43I agree with you on Dennison, but how is Mason a sadist? I don't see him as a sadist, I see him as more of a narcissistic idiot. It is true that he never stopped what was happening to the projects, but a lot of other people that worked at GenTech didn't either. I wouldn't classify them as sadists, just people that don't stand up to others. While Mason did have the power to control Dennison, he didn't. He let it happen. However, I am not so sure he knew about everything going on either. I don't think he knew about Dennison sexually assaulting the Project. Mason did state that he didn't want the projects to be put under any unnecessary pain. Even so, many times throughout the book it was stated that what pain was necessary and unnecessary was controlled by GenTech. I don't know if I would consider him a sadist. He is definitely an awful person. He tricked Kalin and made him sign his life away. From what I understood though, the main reason he seemed to do that was for money. Sadists usually do things from the pleasure they get from hurting others, but Mason seems to get more pleasure from himself and money than hurting others.DEEPA PUJARI wrote: ↑06 Apr 2020, 15:15 I think both Dennison and Mason were sadistic and the main antagonist in the story.

My thoughts exactly! I also think Mason was a sadistic and equally dangerous antagonist, the only difference between them being Mason's pursuit of money.

I agree with you. Of the two, Dennison is the greater evil when compared to Mason. Dennison actually enjoys and gets pleasure from hurting the projects. Although, I often wondered during the book if the sexual assault bits were necessary for the telling of abuse, mistreatment, and torture. Yes, it makes us hate Dennison all the more but what does it do for the story as a whole?leximutia wrote: ↑03 Apr 2020, 18:25 I would call him one of the most present antagonists in the book for sure, even Mason is technically the head of the facility. I grew to really despise Dennison, not just for his sadistic tendencies and his torture of Tau and Kata, but also for the role he played in the death of Reinfield and for the horrible sexual assault towards Tau. When that came to light in the story, I was absolutely furious. Afterall, Tau is essentially a child, at least in terms of mental maturity.

I agree that Kata is the most dangerous person in the story, thanks to his intellect and physical capabilities. His background will help the Projects navigate human society in the sequel. Fortunately, Kata does have morals. He would be a real menace otherwise.
