Clubin had a genuine faith that he had been ill-used. Why had not he the
right to have been born rich? It was from no fault of his that it was
otherwise. Deprived as he had been of the higher enjoyments of life, why
had he been forced to labour--in other words, to cheat, to betray, to
destroy? Why had he been condemned to this torture of flattering,
cringing, fawning; to be always labouring for men's respect and
friendship, and to wear night and day a face which was not his own? To
be compelled to dissimulate was in itself to submit to a hardship. Men
hate those to whom they have to lie. But now the disguise was at an end.
Clubin had taken his revenge

The long restraint of
men's respect seemed to have given him a peculiar relish for infamy. He
experienced a certain lascivious enjoyment of wickedness. In those
frightful moral abysses so rarely sounded, such natures find atrocious
delights--they are the obscenities of rascality. The long-endured
insipidity of the false reputation for virtue gave him a sort of
appetite for shame. In this state of mind men disdain their fellows so
much that they even long for the contempt which marks the ending of
their unmerited homage.
