An Outsider

This picture represents the relationship between Don John and his brother, Don Pedro.  Don Pedro is a Prince, so many people adore and look up to him.  On the other hand, Don John is the illegitimate son of the King, so he does not receive the same treatment as his brother.  Throught the story, Don John only has a few people on his side, while Don Pedro is extremely popular.  Don John is envious of his brother and tries to ruin Don Pedro's reputation.  Don Pedro reaches out to his brother and tries to kindle a relationship, but Don John's jealousy creates a barrier that can not be overcome.  Don Pedro is surprised when he discovers his brother's evilness because he thought that his brother was trying to become closer to him.  In reality, in order for Don John to carry out his plan to destroy his 
brother, he has to fake a relationship with Don Pedro and his friends. In this picture, Don Pedro is on the side with the other people, reaching out to his brother, and Don John is all alone on his side, he is also reaching out, but the two sides are unable to connect.
