Later, the weight of the device quells his temper somewhat: "(t)he widht of the cangue slowed his steps and caused him to walk with a stoop."
Jen decides that he "must turn his attention to breaking free." He treats the cangue as a worthy adversary, speaking to it respectfully in order to gain his freedom: "Master Cangue," Jen said, "whoever devised you did it cleverly and neatly...To undo you, I must be equally clever."
Jen battles the cangue, who is a worthy adversary, not easily giving up despite his ferocious blows. The war goes on, but the cangue will not be defeated. At the end of Ch. 25, Jen feels desperate: he was "howling like a wolf."
