Stereotypes & How Characters Evolve

He represents the epitome of the general idea of a tax man, coldly calculating and harshly routine-oriented.

First thing to say: that was a really good journal post! I agree with you on all points, but I really find it strange that Jules Hilbert and Harold Crick both believe Harold needs to die in order to make the story perfect. I mean it doesn't make sense taking a life for a book.
