How is finny and gene relationship before this conflict?

Answer 1

They Have a very pure and honest relationship before the conflict. It is similar to those of brothers except with out the fighting. It is in most ways idea. the conflict brings out feeling so jealously in Gene and brings them apart. But in most senses before the conflict finny and gene were perfect for eachother. They completed eachother. Gene kept finny in line and Finny reminded gene not to take himself too seriously. However this relationship couldnt last like this forever becuase gene was growing up and finny refused to. Which is why finny dies. His character can not go on. He belongs as a child.
