Quote #10
Yet would I gladly visit Barabas,
For well has Barabas deserved of us. (5.3. 24-5)
Big mistake, Calymath: our Turkish commander looks positively naïve when he accepts Barabas's dinner invitation. Calymath, for all the might of the Turkish Empire, is unfit for the world of Maltese politics because he's the sort of guy who sticks by his word and cares about what people "deserve." Needless to say, he doesn't last too long.
