Artemis Fowl 2

From the secret book Artemis learns the specific ritual used by fairies to renew their powers. I predict that with this information he will probably try to find a fairy and try to learn all their culture or ways. The secret book reminds me of ancient text from the Egypt and such countries that developed writing for their own rituals and stories. Similarity the fairies used their writing for the same thing and was very difficult to decode for Artemis. An interesting quote i found in the book which depicts the pride and ego Artemis fowl had in his ability to find the what he wanted the most. "I never tell anyone exactly how smart I am, they would be too scared."- Artemis Fowl II  His ego and pride reminds me of an epic poem we had read as sophomores about a man who had too much hubris and ended up killing his mother and father. The story was known as Oedipus Rex.  He also had a complex named after himself known as the Oedipus complex which dictates that every child would like to kill their father and marry their mother. A complex is a way of thinking in phycscology terms.
