You ever think about how the man Thomas describes as his very good friend and the ONLY person who will stay and help Thomas, James and Miranda fight his father, ends up betraying him and being responsible for putting him in a mental asylum? Or about how James says most of the people who go to Thomas’s salons are pretenders and only go to feel radical? Or how half of London whispers that Thomas is mad?
How lonely he must have been, even with Miranda and later James (because to me Thomas seems like a very sociable person who likes people) and how frustrated he must have been, that he could have friends or he could have his beliefs (and shout them and fight for them) but he couldn’t have both. How angry he must have been at society for distancing themselves from him for wanting to do the right thing.

How ready to do something reckless to prove them all wrong.
