Man’s Fate: In Response to Professor Hanley

Heroism: Katov and Kyo

Konig:
You want to live?

Kyo:
It depends on how.


Kyo:
Any way of getting out of here?

Katov:
Not a chance.

In class Tuesday before last, Professor Hanley posed a question: What makes Katov and Kyo heroic at the end of Man’s Fate?

Imprisoned and death immanent, Kyo anticipates the possibility of being released, or to attempt “the taking of the prison.” And Katov, shrewd, “tactically” calculates the “taking of the Post.”
