In the same Danny Peary interview, Miller states the characters of Wez and Max are near mirror images of each other, with each being chained by the leaders of their respective camps, and who both find themselves spurred on by the death of a loved one somewhere in their past, in Wez's case the relatively recent death of The Golden Youth at the hand of the Feral Kid.
Dalam wawancara Danny Peary yang sama, Miller menyatakan karakter Wez dan Max ada di dekat bayangan cermin satu sama lain, masing-masing dirantai oleh para pemimpin di kamp masing-masing, dan siapa yang keduanya merasa didorong oleh kematian orang yang dicintai di suatu tempat di masa lalu, dalam kasus Wez kematian yang relatif baru dari The Golden Youth di tangan bocah liar.
