Love his Family How Artemis Fowl is depicted in the novel
34 In the green glow of the night-vision goggles, her features
leaped at Artemis like a Halloween mask. The fairys nose was long and hooked under two slitted
golden eyes. Her ears were pointed, and the alcohol addiction had melted her skin like putty.
If you know about the Book, human, she said slowly, fighting the numbing effects of the whiskey, then you
know about the magic I have in my fist. I can kill you with a snap of my fingers
Artemis shrugged. I think not. Look at you. You are near dead. The rice wine has dulled your senses. Reduced to
healing warts. Pathetic. I am here to save you, in return for the Book.”
His confidence also showed when he was dealing with Holly Short for the first time when Artemis was trying to abduct her. He was brave to
threaten Holly with words and saved himself from a Mesmer using his sunglasses 2001: 51-52.
The time when he had a negotiation with Commander Root also showed his confidence. He put pressures to the Commander and said that he
had the ace to escape from the time-field. It made the Commander have a will to negotiate 2001: 102-105.
Even when his plans that had been working nicely for a third quarter went on a ruin, Artemis still had the confidence that he was going to smile
in the last line. He was hoping for the LEP to send their bio-bomb. It can be seen in:
“The Fowl character in question was watching it all from the surveillance room. There was no denying it. Things
were not good. Not good at all. But certainly not irredeemable. There was still hope.
Artemis catalogued the events of the last few minutes. The manors security had been compromised. The safe room
was in a shambles, blown apart by some sort of fairy
35 flatulence. Butler lay unconscious, possibly paralysed by
the same gaseous anomaly. His hostage was loose in the house, her fairy powers restored to her. There was an
unsightly creature in leather chaps burrowing holes beneath the foundations, with no apparent regard for the
fairy commandments. And the People had retrieved a copy of the Book, one of several copies as it happened,
including one on disk in a Swiss vault. Artemiss finger combed an errant strand of dark hair. He
would have to dig very deep to uncover the good in this particular scenario. He took several deep breaths, finding
his chi as Butler had taught him. After several moments contemplation, he realized that
these factors meant little to the overall strategies of both sides. Captain Short was still trapped in the manor. And
the time-stoppage period was running out. Soon the LEP would have no option but to launch their bio-bomb, and
that was when Artemis Fowl would unveil his coup de grace. Of course, the whole thing depended on
Commander Root. If Root was as intellectually challenged as he looked, it was quite possible the entire scheme
would collapse around his ears. Artemis hoped fervently that someone on the fairy team had the wit to spot the
blunder hed made during the negotiation session.” 131- 132
The greatest confidence of Artemis appeared when he believed that he was able to escape from the time-field and the bio-bomb. He acted nicely
when he gave sleeping pills in champagne for Butler and Juliet 2001: 167- 175.
