Editing Farago (section)

==Speech==

Farago speaks in a smug, authoritative, and threatening manner. He uses the title Maestro and insists on being addressed properly, always reminding others of rank and obedience. His speech is intrusive and patronising, often turning immediately to physical or sexualised remarks when he speaks to Meg.

He tends to talk at people rather than with them. His language is blunt, controlling and self-satisfied, and he often uses short commands or taunting remarks to dominate the conversation. When challenged, he becomes vulgar, angry and vindictive, with his speech growing more insulting and aggressive.

He also has the habit of justifying himself in a cold, bureaucratic way, as though his behaviour is merely part of the institution’s normal function. That makes him more unsettling: he does not sound like a manic villain, but like someone who believes his abuse is acceptable because it is sanctioned
