| #1 Kind of reminds me of the animal kingdom, where the young males challenge the old patriarch again and again until one of them is finally stronger and drives him away from the pride/herd/whatever. Wisdom and guile prevail against reckless youth most of the time but eventually the old guy runs out of luck or health. |
