Here we have two boys, Gene and Phineas, or Finny, and it is Gene who will

be on his own voyage of self-discovery. Gene is a serious boy, perhaps too

serious, and he hasn't really lived much or experienced much. Finny is a

sort of mischievous, impish boy who will lead Gene out of his stodgy shell.

Finny is a force of life, a sort of juvenile Falstaff, who wants to

experience everything life has to offer and who is not afraid to stand out

in the crowd; in fact, this is what he loves most. To use a quote from a

story which is similar, Dead Poets' Society, he wants "to suck the marrow

out of life". Gene is more reluctant; he is too straightlaced and

conventinal. But Finny reaches into Gene

by his difficult journey in New York City, which is the result of him having

point of all his stresses, frustrations and disappointments.
