Gene accuses Finny of trying to pull him down because he believes that Finny is intentionally sabotaging his academic performance out of jealousy. Gene's insecurities and competitive nature lead him to interpret Finny's actions as malicious, rather than genuine friendship. This accusation reflects Gene's internal struggle with his own feelings of inadequacy and the complexities of friendship during adolescence.

Why was the marble staircase so important in A Separate Peace?

The staircase is the second 'fearful sight' in the book. this is where Gene and Finny's fight occurs, when Gene pushes Phineas down the stairs causing him to shatter his bones once again leading to his death.. In simpler terms this is the place where Gene äccidentally" killed Phineas leading to many deep feelings of guilt.
