Space Opera
I think that Space Opera allows the viewer to imagine what our future will really be like and all of the possibilities of mankind, while equally allowing us to reflect on our current state. I found this book to be a very interesting read, it delved into a lot of social and political issues and really explored how far one person would go to exact revenge. It is quite an interesting story being told. The main character, Foyle, is intense, to say the least. He is a character that you as the reader both root for and despise at the same time. At first he was easy to identify with, the feeling of mediocrity, nothing makes him special or stand out, until he becomes possessed by revenge, and that is when I thought he took a turn for the worse. some of Foyle's actions make him quite a shocking character. Foyle is brutal and often it is hard to remember he is the protagonist. I found it an interesting notion that up until the point where Foyle was enraptured in retribution he was a common place man with no ambition whatsoever but his embitterment empowered him. It seems like one of those things where the protagonist needed to find something to draw strength from and although revenge was good fuel at the time, it ended up costing him a lot more than it was worth in the end.
