fasdfdfsdfIn Benjamin Franklin・s Autobiography, Samuel Keimer is a character who represents the antithesis of Franklin. The development of Keimer not only improves the reader・s understanding of the minor character, but also of Franklin, the major character. Franklin makes a point of showing the reader each of Keimer・s faults and contrasting them with his own merits. When Keimer is first introduced to the reader, he is in very much the same circumstances as Franklin; they are two young men trying to make a fresh start in a new town, the only difference being Keimer・s economic, and thereby social, advantage. In comparison to Franklin, however, Keimer is a flawed and immoral man; this difference is what makes him the ideal model for Franklin to scrutinize. As Benjamin Franklin consistently moves up the social and economic ladders, more than surpassing Keimer・s achievements, Keimer quickly falls into poverty and loses everything.
