Waugh presents Grimes as one of the Immortals despite his repulsive appearance and ungodly activities, which is an example of the author's brilliant metaphors in the novel. Waugh enjoys poking an unkind finger at the world’s habit of judging by outward appearance, thus, missing the essential worth of a person or an object.
