In the book Motorcycles & Sweetgrass one of the main characters that could be referred to as inferior was Virgil. He was a quiet, withdrawn teenager who would often skip school to go off and be on his own. He was a sad character who had recently lost his grandmother, putting him in a vulnerable mental state.
When Virgil was off one day at his rock in the grass, a threatening character named John made his intentions clear regarding his interest in Maggie, Virgil's mother. Virgil must have felt inferior at this point because everyone else didn't seem to realize that John wasn't some perfect guy. It must have been very frustrating and worrying having to be associated with such a guy, and having no one believe or understand the truth about him.
Virgil contradicts his inferior trait by getting his uncle Wayne to help get John out of town. Virgil knew what was right or wrong, and even though no one else could see John through his perspective, he knew he need to get John away from his mother and their reserve. By the end of the book Virgil proved to actually be fairly superior,
