The carnival transformed them into their true selves. At the end of the book they show themselves as true cowards by “the fleeing away of souls…run forever trying to outflee themselves” (279-280). The freaks run away after loosing their dark leader. The reader discovers the freaks are not evil, but they gave up their humanity for their desires. Also, the evil will come back “Not in a carnival. God knows what shape they’ll come in next” (288). Some evil resides everywhere because people like the freaks cannot resist what they want. Just like the freaks, the evilness will turn anyone into their worst
