Well, that's a hard question...
But I personally think Eneas (I don't know how to write it in english and I'm too lazy to look this up now).
Eneas had a lot of responsabilities on his back, and he did everything that was needed to make it to the end.
He was a real man.

The unknown God 'gainst whom struggled Captain Ahab...
>“Hark ye yet again—the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.”

Personally I think it’s simple and the answer is in the line “Whatever exists, he said. Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.” The Judge is basically a control freak and likes the idiot because he can master him. He kills the Kid because the Kid defies him.

That’s an interesting take but control rings false for me. I see it something as the simplicity and primal nature of the idiot. The judge is a primal force of humanity and the idiot is humanity in its most primal form.

Reading that now. Only about 130 pages in...so far he's pulled around an old guy by his nose, felt up the host's wife in front of the whole party, and (maybe) is being blackmailed for diddling some guy's sister. I've heard things take a turn so I'm looking forward to him earning the distinction you've just awarded him.

I think more than that he saw the kid as a young impressionable mind who was basically a blank canvas (he has literally no personality besides occasionally spitting and saying “you’re crazy”) that he could mold in his own image, but the kid rejected him

>If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell.
>Boy, I was shaking like a madman. I was sweating, too. When something perverty like that happens, I start sweating like a bastard. That kind of stuff's happened to me about twenty times since I was a kid. I can't stand it.
