The Prince

[djr6090]

I expected to see more of the Prince too, although I don't know what he could have contributed to the plot. Maybe his role was to act as a decoy, to allow Will and company to maneuver undetected. Then again, why would a Prince of the land associate with a rag-tag castaway? Remember, Will is in disguise.

I guess he did not make much of an impression on me.

Well, he was what a king should be, relaxed as things fall in place. The Prince character is underdeveloped in my opinion.

This is a good point. A prince wouldnt be seen hanging out with a random orphan boy. This is also why I think Emmy couldnt really play a big part in this story either, but it was still a little disappointing fortheir characters to be so flat..

I didn't think he was not active enough, mostly because I did not regard him as an active character in the book. I feel like the author kind of skipped over his character development and neglected his importance in the story. Will was meant to shine, so the entire plotline made that happen...but that is, of course, only my opinion.

Since he was Will's echo, I assumed that their lives and choices would basically parallel each other making it unnecessary for the author to highlight everything active in his development.

I felt bad for damien. and dea that the prince was willing to just "throw them away" so to speak in order to achieve his own goal. What if his plan hadnt worked? Then what?

This was a part of the Prince's attitude and behaviour that a very much disliked-the act of finding the worth of others and treating them as such.

I also think Fortis did not take Prince William seriously. He greedily took the mushrooms and treated William like a mindless child. Which I think underestimating the prince will be his first mistake!

I wonder what happens to dea and damien though

The Prince was very calculating and assumed that Fortis Fortuna would underestimate him and assume him to be a puppet King fo their control. He accounted for a lot of things and behaviours, and I found that interesting.

The now you see him, then you don't appearances of the prince in the plot made his character appear underdeveloped. I would have understood him better if we were shown what he was up to whenever he disappeared.

I think that added to he intrigue and mystery of the character and eventually he did confess his actions and what his end goal was.

And whenever he was present he made Will do all the hard work for him

Are we now making the Prince appear lazy or antagonistic? I can't keep up with how easily you jump to criticizing characters...or the author.

I agree that the Prince let Will do most of the work. I think he serves a role similar to Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. He is a catalyst who allows the major character to see that he or she can do the work on their own rather than having someone step in and rescue them.
