The role of strength and intellect in the play was portrayed by all characters to some extent. Gros Jean was physically strong but intellectually weak. Mi Jean was intellectually strong yet cowardly weak. "You have one virtue more than your brother, fear. Nothing lives stronger than brute strength, sir, except it is human cowadice". (Old Man, Scene 2 P725) Ti Jean is physically and intellectually strong, he faces the challenge given by the devil and wins, "I'm as scared as Christ" says Ti Jean to the devil. (P735 Scene 3) The Bolom (scene3 Pg735) to the Devil "Master Be Fair" when he was trying to cheat TiJean.
Solid thinking.
