The way he lied however put her sister on edge and led to an investigation of Polly’s whereabouts and John eventually gets arrested for her murder. While he is in jail he tries to commit suicide, initially it’s because he wants to out of the situation and he doesn’t want to face the damage he has caused but he also uses it to plead insanity in court. He does so when the he is called up to the stand and instead of going he “trembles violently, shakes his head and refuses to get onto his feet.”(PG) John is looking for a way out, he does not want to be questioned about the murder because he had not come to terms with it nor does he want to deal with it. He is always looking for a way out, especially when he is

Survival may be one of the natural instincts in human beings, but it can and sometimes will be overcome by other powerful emotions. John's initial struggle for survival is suppressed by his overwhelming love for his wife. He becomes involved when his wife's name is mentioned in court, and her life becomes endangered. John does a complete turn around on his perspective of the situation. He goes from being completely isolated, to attempting to take control of the situation. However, his initial failure to do the right thing from the start caused this plan to fail.

He becomes a pastor at Zion Hope at this time he starts cheating on Lucy again. Lucy explains to John ‘You either got tuh stop lovin’ Hattie Tyson uh you got tuh stop preachin’. Dat’s whut de people say...Dey talkin’ ‘bout settin’ you down.” (Hurston 119) This time he puts his position as pastor at stake which means his income will be affected. Lucy explains to John that he should stop messing around or he will no longer be Zion Hope’s pastor. John remarries for a third time to Sally Lovelace, he still remains unfaithful “Two hours later when John found himself dressing in a dingy back room in Oviedo he was mad-mad at his weakness-mad at Ora…”( Hurston 199) John had went on a trip to visit his best friend, Hambo. While on his trip he runs into a girl and couldn’t shake off the temptations and cheats on Sally. John’s weakness of cheating seems to always end him in a bad place in his

Throughout the entire story, the reader can see just how stupid John actually is. He reunites with a girl who he finds “extremely handsome,” and connects well with her but never allows it to blossom into a relationship. They stay close friends the entire story, and May knows John’ secret fears and she never tells a soul. She gives him her trust, but he can’t find the courage or strength to give his trust to her. One can tell that May wants more from the relationship, but she accepts John’s stupidly just to keep him in her life. She stayed with him because she felt she could help him

In the first place John is a torn man. He knows he has done wrong and feels deeply guilty. But he has family so he can not come out and get punished because that would destroy his family name. “Abby, i may think of you from time to time. But i will cut off my hand before i’ll ever reach for you again.

While outside, Bernard asks John about his childhood growing up in the reserves. John was always taunted by the other children because of his different skin tone and the fact that Linda was known for sleeping with an abundance of men. The children even went as far as pelting him with stone, hoping that John would leave them alone. John also remembers a time where the women of the reserve would hold Linda down and whip her for bedding their men. Despite this, he found company in the books that Linda gave him as she taught him how to read and write. Popé, Linda’s more frequent lover and an abusive figure in John’s life, gave John The Complete Works of Shakespeare while bringing Linda mescal, which has acted as a source of comfort in John’s lonely life. After hearing about John’s childhood, Bernard invites both John and Linda

After being made a cuckold by Alisoun and Nicholas and falling for the second flood scheme, John is mocked by his neighbors, townspeople, Alisoun, and Nicholas for his naivety and

This other John will emerge like a butterfly from a cocoon, a Jack from a box, a pit from a prune, if the first John is only squeezed enough (Atwood 1). Mary experiences various kinds of abuse, but elects to ignore the many warning that have been given to her about people like John. She is too caught up in the foolishness of her own ideas and morals to recognize that John is bringing out the worst in her. She continues to see him and hope that she can bring out the best in him. As predicted, he continues to treat Mary as second best.

Another point is how sad John is when he finds out they died, it hurts when a loved one dies, that's one way love can hurt us. We find out

John’s proposal. The reason for this is because she is actually thrown into a sort of trance by the way he delivers speeches; he does so in an empowered and igniting way, which very much arouses Jane. Listening to his voice and his words almost hypnotizes Jane into accepting his marriage proposition, but what actually ends up happening couldn’t be worse for St. John: he. In a sort of accidental way, he teaches Jane a lesson about love, independence, and equality, which just makes Jane realize that she has to go back to be with the man she really loves. St. John is an interesting character: he works uncontrollably, doing good deeds for people, and is a very hardworking man, who isn’t actually a “saint”, so to speak, but he certainly believes he’s close to it. He is handsome, blond, and blue eyed, and is evidently very caring. To contrast these qualities, however, Jane describes him as “hard and cold”, “frozen over”, and “cold as an iceberg”. These qualities are what make St. John a round and interesting character. Aside from these traits, John is also the kind of person who likes to take on challenges that are far out of his reach and are not in his favor. All if these qualities make many women attracted to him. The one problem that John faces, before Jane, is that he is in love with Rosamond Oliver. However, sticking to his guns as usual, he ultimately says, "It is

Perhaps John is simple "sely" or naive, rather than jealous. He says he loves her more than his life, so maybe John is just blinded to her betrayal because he loves his wife so much. That might be a better moral to the story. He still cares about the earthly world (his wife)

Once John returned home, Alicia was responsible for giving him his medication, monitoring his attitude, along with taking care of their son and the daily chores. John began slowed down and tired from his drugs and was unable to work, which made Alicia the sole provider for the household. Alicia is rapid to discover that John has stopped taking his medication, at the time of discovering his work in the shed. John’s illness petrifies Alicia after their baby nearly drowned and when he pushed Alicia and the baby into the wall. Nevertheless, Alicia remains devoted to her husband and makes a crucial decision to remain with him, to help support him and his illness.

Lucy is invited to Christmas dinner at the Callaghan’s and falls in love with them because this is part of what is missing in her life. Early the next morning, Lucy meets Jack, Peter’s brother, who is somewhat suspicious of Lucy. Jack continually asks Lucy questions to find out about her “relationship” with Peter and about her life. Jack tries every angle to see whether or not Lucy might be taking advantage of Peter, or is possibly dating Joe, junior and he finds nothing but constant misunderstanding, all pointing to the fact that Lucy is indeed, Peter’s fiancée.
