You know its interesting but Locke and Ben seem to have a lot in common which creates an interesting yin/yang idea. Locke and Ben both want to be "special" and to gain power and control. Locke wanted to free himself from his father and he constantly tried to show his importance to the island over anyone else. I think we see this with Ben as well but in a darker way. I mean Ben sacrificied the entire Dharma initiative and Locke sacrificed Boone. Yes i think we have more sympathy toward Locke, but I see a lot of similarities going on, which creates an intense struggle for power and recognition.
