>>92846971In the long run, Eustace is pretty much just a product of his shitty family. How they treated him, and how they never really tried to encourage him. Always in the shadow of his older brother, and never finding anything he was actually good at. If anything, he just kind of gave up and accepted the idea that he wasn't any good, yet still wished he could be better and have more in life.
Muriel is his only shining light, and even then he has to share her with a dog that gets more attention than he does.
Honestly? Eustace is kinda similar in ways to Helga.
