Reaction to Dany's Post

As i read Dany's post on the different approaches John and the narrator have on fixing the motorcycle , i first agreed 100% with what he mentioned, and second, had a thought about how their personalities apply to classical and romantic themes. The narrator is concerned with what works and will do everything in his power to solve a problem, no matter how he does it. John, on the other hand, is the opposite, its not always about the solution to the problem, but how the end product will look. As i read Dany's descriptions on their attitudes i realized that John's personality follows that o romantic analysis while the narrator's personality follows that of classical analysis. The way John could never think that a beer can can solve the problem of his handlebars has to do with the fact that a beer can fixing his precious luxurious motorcycle seems humiliating ad wrong, no matter if it actually fixes the problem. I thought that his attitude resembled that of romantic analysis, how it is only concerned with the appearance of things. In contradiction to John, the narrator resembles classical analysis as he is concerned in solving a problem oriented towards logic and law.
