According to Pete Docter, Carl Fredricksen and Charles Muntz were designed to be mirrors of each other, right down to their names (Carl is a Germanic form of Charles). Both men have suffered a great personal loss (for Carl his wife Ellie and for Muntz his good name and reputation) and both are obsessed with an object from their past (the house for Carl and Kevin for Muntz). The difference between the two men is that over the years, Muntz's obsession has made him bitter, paranoid to an extreme, and willing to resort to violence to get what he wants. In other words, Muntz represents what Carl was likely to become had he not met Russell and Dug and learned to let go of his past.
