The Cone-Gatherers - Duror By Ben and Lewis
Character • Duror is the gamekeeper on the Runice-Campbell’s estate. • We see signs of an unhealthy obsession with Calum. • He doesn’t believe in imperfection, which is seen in Calum as he is disabled. • This obsession links him closely to the actions of a Nazi toward a Jew. • These repulsive thoughts grow stronger as the novel develops, making him make up lies to try and convince others that they should be removed off of the estate.
Evil • As the novel continues we see Duror’s descent into evil increase. • This evil is first seen in the deer drive during the brutal slaughter of the deer. • He tries to force the cone-gatherers out of the estate by making up disgusting lies about Calum. • In the final chapter we see Duror commit his worst act of evil in the murder of Calum who is innocent.
Sympathy • Sympathy can be felt for Duror due to his wife’s health condition and how his life has gone steadily downhill. • He is rejected from the army and has to try and take care of his wife. • He suffers from vivid dreams of his wife being brutally killed.
