- Montmorency shows himself to be a dislikeable character when he steals from weak people.
- “Montmorency might have hopes of becoming a gentleman, but Scarper really wasn’t a very nice man.”
- Just after his first raid and he has robbed a beggar.
- This shows that he didn’t care who he hurt in order to get ahead.
- It is hard to feel sympathy for Montmorency when he allows Freakshow to be hanged for his crimes.
- He was “relieved that the authorities had closed the book on his many thefts.”
- He feels this immediately after Freakshow has been sentenced.
- It is morally wrong that Montmorency got away with these crimes, and even worse that someone else died because of them.
