I'd compare Fenris to Bruce Banner
(from The Hulk) He's a genuinely nice guy its just that sometimes when you push him he runs the risk of turning into a whirlwind of destruction. On the one hand, it makes him a very effective warrior, but it also puts him off from the company of others.
Twilight is a poor example of a Character vs. Self conflict like this, simply from the fact that to me, the books aren't as well-written as they could be.
Hawke: Your quite calm in battle you know that?
Fenris: There is a reason for that. The mantras, the catchesims, all of it serves as a way to remain calm under pressure.
Hawke: Fenris, you usually calm and collected, why would combat change that?
Fenris: Let me tell you a story. After receiving these
(points at lyrium brands) I spent a week in my cell on the brink of death, my mind teetering on the edge of madness from lyrium poisoning. Someone, something, I have no idea what it was came to me. Took hold of me. When it let go I was outside of my cell, and the walls were painted with the blood of a maniple of my Master's men.
Hawke: Is that how you escaped from him?
Fenris: Not at first. After that day my Master applauded my prowess and set upon using me as an instrument of terror. Setting me upon those who he considered to be his enemy. Each time that
thing took over I'd find myself somewhere that I found unfamiliar, with no recollection of what had happened. The guards outside of my cell took to calling me Fenris, because they equated me to the werewolves of myth. I hated the feeling of it, being a prisoner in both my home, and in my own body. So I taught myself to control my body, to keep whatever it is that visits me in check.
Hawke: It could be a rage demon that haunts you, I could go into the Fade and.-
Fenris: No. Demon or no, this being is a part of who and what I am, I allow it to exert its power from time to time, and in exchange it lets me remain in control. Thus balance is maintained, and it is through my meditations that it remains as such.
Hawke: That degree of control is unbelieveable, its a skill that destroys all conventional schools of magical study its--
Fenris: Something that no one should be able to do, and this is why the knowlege of what I am must be protected, Maker knows what would happen if the Circle or my Master were able to create more like me. I assume that my secret is safe with you?
Hawke: It is my friend. Although I wouldn't mind you teaching me those meditations someday.
Fenris: Perhaps someday I will.

Retour en haut
I was screamed in joy when I saw Ammon in MotB...I think even cried a little in joy 
and I was a fountain of tears of sadness when I saw Bishop
