As these two best friends go from the greatest friends in the world to friends competing against each other and seeking vengeance in order to gain superiority, we see rivalry, the consequences of jealousy, and how self sufficiency is not the key to a strong and lasting friendship. In this book, rivalry is very strong and prominent within the students at The Devon School, and in many cases in this book rivalry is exemplified.

Mentally, they are very endowed with superior intelligence and with creative talents and have access to super-consciousness sometimes being able to read people and being even telepaths.
