KEY 1 As the story progresses, we can’t help but feel bad for crew members and several major characters on the Ghost. The incredible strength of Wolf Larsen makes him somewhat invincible from the attack of the crew members. Several themes make us feel there should be something happening to reverse the trend, and yes things are starting to change. As a saying goes, no one holds all the cards.
KEY 2 Wolf Larsen cannot always be in the upper hand. Readers expect to see some changes, and everyone has his or her own weaknesses. It’s just a matter of time. The story reaches the climax by revealing Wolf Larsen’s weakness to the reader: the headache…The headache is probably a sign that shows he will not remain the king of the Ghost.
