In Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, Tom Fury Falls under the unhealable wound archetype. “Just after midnight – along the empty street came the lightning rod salesman,” (Bradbury 42) “He came along the street of Green Town,” (Bradbury 5) and “Traveling along the marbles of Rome and Florence,” (Bradbury 43) best show Tom Fury’s unhealable wound of being lonely. Bradbury does this by describing how Tom Fury travels a lot, selling lightning rods and never really made friends. He was a wanderer who just took in the world. The carnival then takes advantage of his unhealable wound then turns it against him as The Dwarf; carnival freaks always accompany him. Bradbury does this because Tom Fury, deep down, needs company and friends.
