Stoner is a gentleman, and he has no concepts of messing up, pleasing, teaching, or being a good teacher. He enjoys teaching students and studying literature.
He relented in other things, but on the issue of student Volcker, he showed a tough and inviolable attitude.
Laumanks minded his disability, he had a deep sense of inferiority, and he also had a disability in his heart. Whether others are kind to him or alienated, they seem to be hostile to him. He is wearing armor anytime, anywhere, full of aggressiveness.
Stoner in the school is the most moderate and most likely to accept the student Volcker. But Laumanks did not expect that Stoner's love for literature could not help being deceived.
Volcker's similar disability experience blinded Laumanks. He regarded him as his young age. Therefore, all the criticism and opposition to Volcker by Stoner, Laumanks regarded him as being against him. Declare war. Student Volcker took advantage of this.
In Stoner's mind, those who are suitable to stay in school must have a passion for literature, or study what they love, and devote themselves to research. Volcker is not such a person, he just enjoys the joy of victory.
Laumanks spends more of his thoughts on the recognition and attitude of others to him, and this student Volcker is even better.
Laumanks saw all the discrimination, suspicion, and disapproval of others against him. He didn't care about the others.
Stoner and Laumanks have completely different attitudes towards universities and literary studies, and their differences are irreconcilable.
