I considered that as well. The whole law opposition is very reminiscent of young Locke.
It's interesting that Bentham was influenced by the real Locke's work. I like the point about how this could relate to the "devolution" of our Locke, it would certainly make sense considering he's now dead.
I can't help but wonder if he lost the leadership of the Others like Ben and chose to leave the island as a result. It'll be good to find out want made him leave, considering he was venomhently against the O6 leaving, and so certain they all belong on the island.
