Chauvelin from the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Many objects and people these days have the ability to be compared and .
.
contrasted. For example, you could compare and contrast a dog and a cat. A dog .
.
is most commonly a house pet, like the cat. But a dog has more of an ability to .
.
be trained, unlike the cat. But it's not the subject of comparing a dog and a cat. .
.
It's time to begin comparing and contrasting Sir Percy and Chauvelin from The .
.
Scarlet Pimpernel, a book written by Baroness Orczy.
.
Let's start with comparing Percy and Chauvelin. Something that they .
.
have in common is that they both are smart and creative. For example, Percy .
.
showed his creativity by outwitting Chauvelin at the Chat Gris. When Percy .
.
offered Chauvelin the snuff, but it really was pepper, that was definite creativity. .
.
Chauvelin shows his smarts when he holds Armand hostage and blackmails .
.
Margueritte. Really, how else can you think of that would make Margueritte do .
.
anything for Chauvelin?.
.
Another way that the two are alike is that they both are fighting for.
.
what they believe in. Percy is trying to free the aristocrats, while Chauvelin is .
.
attempting to prevent the aristocrats from leaving. Both are totally devoted to .
.
their job and are fighting for what they believe. Like how Percy could get killed .
.
at any time if he gets caught by Chauvelin. Speaking of Chauvelin, he himself is .
.
not a liked man ; there are many that wouldn't mind his little head on a stick, eh?.
.
The third way that Chauvelin and Sir Percy are alike is that they both use .
.
disguises in the book. Percy uses a disguise when he is trying to smuggle out .
.
aristocrats. His was of an old hag, and it allowed him to bypass the guards. He .
.
said that he was toting along his son who had the plague. Percy also had many .
.
accessories with his tricks. This time he used a rope of braids that Percy said .
.
were from the men who's heads got cut off.
