Redball:
Well, Marten's human. So is Jeph. So Marten may yet find happiness. Of course, I hope so.

Carl-E:
Actually, Marten's a character, and those are the words of his author.  So no, he's not miserable, because he has no clue as to his inability to find happiness. 


It takes  lifetime for that kind o misery to set in...

My feeling is that he already is mostly happy though. Or at least he completely has the potential to become happy, if he could allow himself to be.

This is dangerously close to the classic "Fictional Characters have no Personality" debate.

Marten is not happy, but in many respects he may well be content.  This is a feeling I often decide I have myself.
