The Master Butchers Singing Club-Chapter 3-SPOILERS

[Curmudgeoness]

2. It is interesting that after reading the chapter,

you don't like Fidelis but have sympathy for Koska, while I don't like Koska at all and think Fidelis is an even-tempered man. I will have to think a while on your opinion on Fidelis, but I have no sympathy for Koska. I think he is a little weasel of a man. As we learned earlier, he was stingy and paid his employees very poorly, he did not take care that he sold good quality meats. And by him putting the rotten meat and bones in the bed, I see him as a vengeful evil man.

I do agree that Fidelis is full of pride, but I am not seeing that as a bad thing. He has pride in his work. He has pride in his wife. He believes in his abilities. I am not sure that makes him a jerk---but we will see.
