"My fury was gone, I felt it gone, dried up at the source, withered and lifeless. Phineas had absorbed it and taken it with him, and was rid of it forever."
Gene was at a constant state of distraught when it came to his relationship with his friend Finny. Gene’s intense rivalry developed into full blown jealousy. Gene made himself emotionally and socially distant and easily irritable. When Finny died Gene claimed that a part of him died. The part that died was his hatred, jealousy, and competitive nature. Gene not only lost his rival he realized how destructive such an intense feeling is when channeled against others. Through Finny’s death, Gene has been reborn.
Question: Is Gene to blame for being so cold and accepting towards Finny's death so nonchalantly?
