An example of this is, "Also, it would mean putting myself into a hierarchy of Princes where I would be the lowest of the low. It would be much more fun to simply go somewhere interesting and be a prince at large, preferably the only one around. Then I could do whatever I wanted." (NIX 16). This shows very well how Prince Khemri was a very arrogant person at the beginning of the story. He does not want to put himself into a position where he would not be at the top.
Prince Khemri is a dynamic character an example towards the end of the book shows his interactions with people, "But it Would also be the first step away from Raine. Did I really want to leave Raine and return to the empire?"(NIX 250). This shows that Prince Khemri cares for someone and he isn't the selfish person he was at the beginning of the novel. He is questioning himself about staying with Raine or doing his duty and returning to the empire of which he owes his life.
Prince Khemri is a dynamic character because Prince Khemri has changed from who he was into a different person. He also has changed his personality along with his thinking process. This is how I realized that theme was in fact don't let arrogance blind you.
Thank you for providing evidence on how Prince Khemri changed. How does his character change impact the theme of the story? What does his character change say about the theme of the story? You discussion of these questions may/may not be your next post. Just an idea...
