House Of The Scorpion Character Analysis

Matt is hopeful because he was in a cold cell abused both physically and verbally by a servant named Rose and was starting to accept his faith as a clone. Suddenly, he started hoping to be saved by Celia, his caregiver, or any other kind person. He hoped for three years, and never gave up hope.
Matt is loyal because he doesn’t take advantage of anyone and if they treated him properly, he would treat them the same way. He doesn’t talk about people behind their backs or tell anyone things he shouldn’t be saying. For example, he keeps secrets that María and Celia tells him. One of the secrets is that Celia put salt in Tom’s hot chocolate.

Matt also started playing the piano by himself and with the help of a teacher he became a really talented player. He thinks ahead by knowing not to ask Emilia, Steven, and María to colour or eat with him, as he knows they will find out the food and colouring books are stolen from them.
