Conflict - where do I begin?

"How I have lived I hardly know; many times have I stretched my failing limbs upon the sandy plain, and prayed for death. But revenge kept me alive; I dared not die, and leave my adversary in being." (Page 149)

       These guys have some serious issues between them. I feel like conflict isn't even the right description for the actions surrounding these two. It's more like a knock-down, drag-out, battle of the wills and senses to the death. With some internal conflicts mixed in. They remind me of a song.....surprise, surprise! It's from Wicked the Musical; what else?

It's a sketchy recording, but they're the absolute best. These two guys legitimately loath each other at times in their lives, but, like Glinda and Elphaba, they like each other sometimes too. Unfortunately, unlike the two leading ladies of Wicked, things do not end in the ultimate song of forgiveness and hope for the future. They just die. Better yet, the creature commits suicide. Not a good day for him.
