"Dare I desturbe the Universe?"

“Dare I desturbe the Universe?” is a very interesting question. First of all I think that the reason why “Dare” is in the question is because it’s such a strong word that it could mean so much more than what it actually is saying. It also applied on some of the characters in The Chocolate War. Archie is a great example on this one, because I think that he have the most effect at Trinity High School.
There’s a group of kids called the Vigils but nobody can say a word about it. The Vigils are there but you just don’t talk about. They are dangerous and they have a lot of influences in Trinity High. Archie is the assignner. His job is to pick on someone who’s helpless and would listen to anything that he is told to do. Archie also likes to see people suffer or to see then struggle about certain problems. He makes the people around be scared of him, and he chose his victims carefully. For example, he chose Goober to unscrew all the furniture pieces in Brother Eugene’s room and the next day his room fell into pieces. And the time that Brother Leon called him for a meeting, he enjoyed of seeing Brother Leon’s expression because for once Brother Leon knows that Archie have all the power and not him. Archie is a cruel guy who enjoys people failure and that desturbe the school is so many ways.
