Sea WolfWolf Larsen was a character in the book who never made it through the book, but he tried very hard. He was a very strong, brutal man, with no respect for human life. For all the people in the world, one death meant nothing to him. He was a patient man and generally kept himself in check. He was surprisingly intelligent and caring for a pirate who lives on the sea. He loved the sea and knew a lot about it, such as how to outsmart his brother when approaching Wolf's ship. Humphrey Van Weydon, or Hump as he was known on the boat, was a man of the land. He had a very comfortable job and very soft skin showing how sweet his life had been. He had virtually no muscles and lived a very pampered life. He was a gentleman and very decent. To be honest, he was very intelligent and had a very extensive vocabulary. He seemed very surprised when he realized Wolf and the two of them shared some vocabulary words and their meanings. Hump was not used to living on a boat, but he soon learned to live on a boat. He was accepted on the boat with the crew. Wolf and Hump were very different people with few similarities. Wolf was very strong and intimidated everyone. He believed that everyone was insignificant, while Hump was kind, decent and believed that everyone was unique and that we should all live and that one person can make a big difference and change the world. Wolf also tried to turn Hump into a strong man, as Hump was a wimp in the eyes of everyone on the boat. Wolf had one drawback: during his travels he read many books, but he was never able to say what he read or really talk about what he read. When Hump arrived, they shared and exchanged knowledge and each learned new things about the books they were reading. One scene that stands out the most in the book is when Wolf Larsen was engaged in a battle with his brother. Wolf played hide and seek with his brother for a long time behind the fog on the seas..
