Wyatt states, "You expect to feed off me while you can and to find another carcass to pick dry after you have finished mine." He understands that the parasites are dependent upon him, and when he issues his ultimatum, he is refusing to grant the /SanctionOfTheVictim?. Thus Ellis Wyatt is a sharp contrast to /DanConway? in the previous section. The responses of these two men to the /AntiDogEatDogRule? represent opposite sides of the book's central conflict - one accedes to being a victim, one refuses. |
