No, but why is Croft that way?
Oh, there are answers. He is that
way because of the corruption-of-the-society. He is that way because the devil
has claimed him for one of his own. It is because he is a Texan; it is because
he has renounced God.
He is that kind of man because
the only woman he ever loved
cheated on him, or he was born that way, or he was having problems of
adjustment.
