House of Scorpions Response

In the Book house of Scorpions the main character Matteo Alacran.  The main character experiences cruelty upon another level because of what he is, and that can't be helped.  Repeatedly he's shown kindness to those who've harmed him and tried to make friends wherever he could.  But upon their discovery of his true race they show him malice.  The longer the book goes on the more I think its toward who he resembles, he's a splitting image of his father at a young age, who is widely hated for his line of work. And usually he forgives although there have been occasions when hes acted upon anger and retaliated without fear of being reprimanding.   This character's growth year by year isn't perfect such as his twisted emotions, and spells because of how he's treated he still strives.
