<p>Maybe Barnes is a case of the fox and the grapes. The fox cannot get the grapes he wanted. Afterwards he says they were sour anyway which they were not.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Presumably Barnes doesn't want men either, and can't have them - so should his attitude not be the same? Clearly he is a misanthrope..<o:p></o:p></p>
