But the first time Fred is introduced in chapter 2 it is clear that Bob Arctor is Fred. He's in the scramble suit at the Lion's club and He's introduced as Fred to the audience, but the Narrator calls him Bob Arctor:
> In his scramble suit, Fred, who was also Robert Arctor, groaned and thought: This is terrible.
- jrochkind1 5y agoWow, I must have just been a dense reader when i read it the first time! I like it better the way I read it even though it apparently wasn't written that way, ha! There still is something to say maybe about how the book still tells different parts by describing the person as "Fred" or "Bob" depending on what role he's playing, something you lose in a movie that doesn't have textual narration like that. Maybe it at least made it more clear that Bob doesn't realize he's both people, even if the reader does? I forget how/how early this was clear in the movie. I should both read and watch it again!
