A Portrait of Frederick Clegg – Antisocial Traits in His Personality John Fowles’ The Collector is a book that stands out for various reasons. Not only it depicts two characters diametrically different from one another, but it also portrays them with such depth and psychological insight that it is hard to believe only one author has created such two plausible and conflicting protagonists. Another thing that attracts attention in The Collector is the overall character of Frederick Clegg and the…

contrast, repetition, dominance, hierarchy, axis, symmetry, rhythm, datum and transformation.
