What can be said about Cassian? It is very apt to describe many young men as maturing much later than young ladies. Particularly with regards to emotional intelligence. Cassian is a compilation of many people, including parts of myself (you must write what you know). Cassian represents an imperfect, impulsive, angry, and immature boy with a very relatable self-perception problem. He is also a sensitive, caring and kind person who loves deeply, but naively.

The character is meant to be foolish, naïve and, at times, even repulsive. As his experiences shape his life, he must learn to forgive himself for his own transgressions by recognizing the consequences and depth of his actions. He must learn that responsibility is the acceptance of consequence for an action. Blame is the attempt to displace that responsibility. Thus, he sees the contradictory nature between blame and responsibility.
