By the way, a last word about Dupin's character: he sneers that the Prefect of Police is "all head and no body" (123) in his reasoning, that he lacks creativity even though he's got plenty of "cunning." But Dupin himself seems to be all brain and no heart – he only gets involved in trying to get Le Bon off the hook because he owes him a favor, not because the guy is innocent. Where's all of his passion, rage, what have you? Well – maybe in the Ourang-Outang? Check out our "Character Analysis" of the Ourang-Outang for more on our favorite ape and its relation to Dupin.
