So far, we have encountered Rakhmetov and Chapeav. Both are, in a sense, ideal revolutionaries. However, the two characters are extremely different. Rakhmetov relies entirely on his physical and mental well being in order to strive for success. He works out consistently, trains his mind through reading and exercise and fights nearly every carnal human vice (such as sexual desire). He is well read and comes from a mysterious yet somewhat affluent background. Chapeav, however, is illiterate. While he is also a revolutionary, he only recently began the process of learning to read. Indeed, he clearly represents a peasant class. The social differences are apparent between the two characters, yet they rely on themselves similarly. It is noted that Chapeav despises taking advice from others and regrets that decision nearly every time he does so. Like Rakhmetov, he warrants great respect from his peers but does not socialize with them in a classic or accessible sense.

I would be curious to see a “hybrid” character or rather a fusion of Rakhmetov and Chapeav. This character would, in my opinion, be the best revolutionary. They would have the struggle and perspective of a lower class citizen with the opportunities and learned mindset of an upper class citizen. Perhaps this hypothetical character would best understand the concept of leadership as he or she would be able to empathize with all sides through an academically and socially educated perspective. Leadership is crucial to a revolution and I would be curious to encounter a character such as this in historical or fictional readings in the future.
