'''Basic Trope''': Men are better at [[ScienceHero science, logic and reason]] than women but are [[InsufferableGenius arrogant]], [[JerkAss inconsiderate]], [[StrawVulcan uncreative]] and [[LackOfEmpathy hardhearted]].

* '''Subverted''': Archibald is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who went into science ''because'' he [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome deeply appreciates the beauty of nature]] and wanted to understand it better, and he really does want to [[ScienceHero use science to make a better world for everyone]]. Flora, on the other hand, is a cynical BitchInSheepsClothing who [[{{Hypocrite}} takes the moral high ground]] only because [[ManipulativeBastard it helps her get what she wants]].

* '''Deconstructed''': We're shown how Archie, growing up, was taught to ruthlessly [[MenDontCry repress his emotions]] and value only hard logic [[IWantToBeARealMan because that's what a Real Man does]], gradually becoming cunning, cold, and heartless. Flora, meanwhile, was told that she shouldn't bother studying science or math because girls aren't good at that stuff, and learned that people only listened to her when she became hysterical. As a result, both of them end up as bitter, miserable and thoroughly unlikeable adults.

* '''Straight''': Archibald, a brilliant philosopher and scientist, is [[TheStoic cold]], [[InsufferableGenius condescending]], and prone to MeasuringTheMarigolds.
