Summary: Dr. Goodsir of the HM Ship Erebus seems to be a little bit wimpy. His specialty is that of surgery, unlike the other doctors on the voyage who's specialty are medicines. His Journal, the way in which you learn about him, is written in a very astute and insightful manner. His respect for his captain, John Franklin, is almost odd; he idolizes the man. Mostly it is because Franklin exudes a confidence that draws the man too him and boost morale, whereas Goodsir himself is very odd to be around. Franklin made a quip about him that there was some undefinable feminine quality to the man and that it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Reflection: It seems that the reason the author is making Goodsir one of the main characters is because soon he will witness something that is very important to the story or he will have to do surgery on one of the captains. Hopefully his character gets more involved because it is very nice to read his thoughts on the situation.
