The Gothic hero and the bachelor

. Where the Gothic hero had been solipsistic, the bachelor hero is selfish. Where the Gothic hero had raged, the bachelor hero bitches.
Where the Gothic hero had been suicidally inclined, the bachelor hero is a hypochondriac. 
The Gothic hero ranges from euphoria to despondency; the bachelor hero, from the eupeptic to the dyspeptic (having indigestion or a consequent air of irritable bad temper)
