Hashi Lebwohl
I think that Hashi is the one of the best characters ever created, and certainly the most fascinating character in The Gap. Sure, I also loved Vector, Dios and Angus, and a lot of other characters too, but Hashi is just ... brilliant.
I don't know why some people hate him ... he really is a good guy. Extremely intelligent, too.
What do you think about him?

I loved the way he applied quantum theory to just about everything, and how humbled he felt in front of Dios. In a way I think he was the only character who fully understood Dios in the end.

I thought once Hashi became a lead character he was a pretty cool guy. About the only character in the book I identified with.
Nice to see you around, Jay.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

i disliked him when he was first introduced. the reasons for this are quite simple; at first he represented himself as a person of sadistic natures. Hashi first actions are, making Angus urinate himself, he also instructs Angus to put his arms up like he is being crucified (I am aware that Angus is an evil bastard himself, at this point of the book he is represented as one anyway). and Angus could still feel pain, because he describes the pain while this is happening.
After he does these things he says, "I think i am in love". so he enjoyed humiliating Angus. so that really irritated me.
Then he says to goshen (sp?) that Angus is there to be played with, because by doing this he can validate Joshua functions correctly.
Then, once everyone has left the room he "plays" with angus some more.
Quote (not exact wording, i do not have the book with me at the present time)
"Hashi played with Angus some more. Angus tried to ignore the humiliation."

Eh, it may be because I've only read the first two books, but what am I missing here? Hashi as a good guy? You have got to be kidding. Hashi as a good guy is like a shark with fur. Non-existant.
Or, perhaps it's that my knowledge is limited to the first two books. Prolly that.
When's he a good guy though?

Hashi is one of the greatest characters ever created in any series. Ever. Though you may think he acts like a total ass after reading only the first two books, that's really just because you know next to nothing about him at that point. He never really "becomes" a good guy. He's the same character throughout the series, but you just have to keep reading to see the "real" him. I don't want to spoil anything, but I really admire (as much as a fictional character CAN be admired, anyway) his way of thinking and his convictions. Sure, he's got his own special set of morals, but he's not a bad guy in the end. Hashi is basically the kind of person I aspire to be; I identified with him more than any other character in the series.
Yeah, just label me a Hashi Lebwohl Fanboi, lol
