In my opinion the most interesting character dynamic was the one between louis and legosi, because they had very different views when it comes to power legosi dislikes his physical power which he should not use in his opinion and the person which he looks up to louis has power by beeing popular and can talk things out, because of that.
We also later on see why the more uncommon opinion of power exists, because he could as a kid do nothing against the carnivores which were trying to eat him, but kill himself.
