Fitch, the main antagonist in the novel, thinks he is in control through much of the novel. But near the end of the novel, the whole game is changed. Marlee reveals herself and Fitch loses the control he thought he had. Marlee begins bumping jurors, and Fitch begins to break down. He is so used to being in control, and he is usually emotionally strong, but the control he has lost brings him down to near tears. Marlee begins to toy with him, bumping key jurors that Fitch sees as crucial to his win. Fitch basically begs her not to do certain things, when usually he would be the one receiving the begging from others.
