Haven’t read “Tuesdays with Morrie”. However, Ellsworth Toohey is perhaps the most evil character in literature. His evil is not the overt kind of a Hitler or Stalin, rather it is a like a subtle anestesia that puts the victime to sleep by killing their soul. Ayn Rand out did herself by brilliantly personifying the evils of socialism.
not JUST socialism. I believe that what struck me the most was the way that he (Toohey) made mediocrity famous and virtuous. I find it so hard to put into words how frighteningly timely that concept is today.
