Dr. Breed Character Analysis

Dr. Breed is one of the main characters in the novel cat's cradle. He's introduced in Chapter nine as one of the people in a research Laboratory. He was a pink old man very prosperous, beautifully dressed. His manner was civilized, optimistic, capable, serene. Throughout the novel, he explains how scientific thought and other people's thoughts are different. He was first introduced when Jonah made an appointment with him in the research laboratory of the general Forge and Foundry Company. Jonah also said in chapter nine “ I suppose Dr. Breed was a member of my karass too; though he took a dislike to me like almost immediately. Likes and dislikes have nothing to do with it an easy warning to forget.” The difference between scientific thought like Dr. Breed and other people's thoughts is that (add detail) when scientists think something is right they look for answers and all kinds of evidence to prove that it’s correct. Also they have scientific background. And scientists never tell anybody something is correct until they have enough evidence. Their curiosity gets the best of them and scientists use all they can to prove everything they think is correct. Scientists use hypotheses and evidence to find out the final answer and then report back to everybody else.
Also we never have scientific background unless it is said somewhere else and we see it on the internet. We just assume everything is right we don't actually look for the best answers. In Chapter eleven “she said if everyone would study science more than there wouldn't be all the trouble there was. He said science was going to discover the basic secret of life someday”. Basically he's saying that if people like us were to study more science we wouldn't have so many unanswered questions and issues in the world and we would know almost everything we needed
