Caleb

Caleb is one of the most interesting characters to me because he seems to share certain aspects of many other characters.

Cal shares Cathy's need for control. When Cal sees a situation getting out of hand he wants to fix it the way he needs it to be. For example: when Cal first noticed Abra's preference for Aron he immediately attempted to bring Abra away from Aron's unconscious grasp. His plan worked for the time being so Cal was satisfied and got his little "high" from being in control and a step ahead of his brother. Cathy, a little more practiced than Caleb, always has control of the situation, even when the situation is slipping from her grasp she is still thinking a step ahead.

Caleb and Charles both have jealousy and, sometimes, hatred for their brothers. While Charles literally tried to kill Adam, Caleb is, so far, happy to just beat Aron mentally down in every way he can.

Cal relates to his father (Adam) because of his need to be loved. Adam was loved by his father but his step-mother showed more preference to her actual son (Charles). So Adam would leave secret little gifts to see her smile, thinking he was making her happy when the entire time she thought it was Charles. Cal sees how everyone, including his father, shows more preference for Aron but even so he loves Adam and has a protective nature towards him.
