John is a broken man. He does not have any self-confidence. He seems to want good things out of life although he is not willing to work for it. He seems to quite whenever anything gets hard instead of fighting for what he wants he gives up too quickly. I believe that he loves his son very much ad he settles for whatever whoever wants. He isn’t fighting for more time with his son although that is what he wants. He seems to be stuck in a job that he really does not want to be in and he seems too scared to go after what he really wants out of life.

    John comes from a tight knit family who owns their own soybean farm. His father hopes that John will attend business school and help manage the family farm. However, he wants to do something else with his life. When Ashbe asks him what he would like to become, he states, I dont know. I wanted to be a minister or something good, but I dont even know if I believe in God (1:1:280). John expresses that he wants to be a minister however, his problems in life are breaking his spirit and his belief in God diminishes as he fill his life with immoral acts like meeting up with hookers. John also says, I never used to worry about being a failure. Now, I think about it all the time. Its just I need to do something thats fulfilling (1:1:282). So, it is evident that John does not believe managing the soybean farm is rewarding. Even though he does not want to work on the farm, John feels obligated to please his father. In contrast, Ashbe comes from a impoverish family and lives in a messy dilapidated apartment with her father, who leaves her there alone. She has very little contact with her mother and sister due to the fact that they live in Atlanta. Ashbe expresses her loneliness with creativity she learned from her mother. She also tries to help John explore his own ambitions and not allow others to make his decisions for…

    John was always open and honest with his words with a no-holds-barred vocabulary, but he would always speak with motivation and try to empower others. Good yet daring people like John are rare to come across. I don’t know any other man who would put others’ lives before their own. John noticed after he was banished that for once in his life he was alone but he wasn’t completely alone. His group to him, sad to say, were seen as somewhat useless and pathetic, he realized he needed to take responsibility and doesn’t abandon them. Hopefully another kind-hearted person like John will come along. One who doesn’t abandon others in times…

    After coming to terms and understanding the death of his father, John constructed a quite beautiful, yet short and sweet stanza to sum up what he would to growing up as a man in the village of Salem and how he will live life. It says, “One may fool the hearts of many yet not get pass through to me, and although I might be condemned I must look where there is plea, and help those around to view through the lens I may look through, and do my best to do good whenever I may come by to you.” Although he directed his feelings towards myself and Rebecca, the actions of those words resonate throughout our village and the good work he does. John stood for respect, goodwill, and his undeniable selflessness. And although he had made mistakes along the way, he understood they were unjust but repented and did his best to make it right. John could always be seen around the corner trying to help out either fixing Mr. Jacobs wagon, or even carrying the heavy bags of wheat into the home of the…

    John’s attitude toward her is always protective and affectionate. The protagonist admits it on several occasions: “he loves me very dearly” (Gilman 19), “he loves me so” (Gilman 20), “he is very careful and loving.” (Gilman 13) Whenever the protagonist disagrees with John or asks him for something that is out of her schedule, he always denies it and adds some emotive argument to “soften” the conflict. An example of this occur in a moment in the story when the protagonist asks John to visit her cousins. John disagree with her idea because he thinks she is not prepared yet for social meetings and he adds: “he said I was his darling and his comfort and all he had, and that I must take care of myself for his sake, and keep well.” (Gilman 19) This kind of emotive arguments make the narrator feel guilty every time she rebels, even she thinks: “I meant to be such a help to John, such a real rest and comfort, and here I am a comparative burden already!” (Gilman 14) This guilty lead the protagonist to hide her true state of mind and her wishes, resigning to the orders and decisions of her husband. This contributes to create a perfect situation for John’s absolute manipulation of his wife. Johnson supports this idea by saying “that her husband exerts his tyrannical control in the guise of protectiveness makes the narrator feel all the more stifled and precludes outright defiance” (528). In addition to this, John is described by his wife as a “physician of high standing” (Gilman 11) as well as “practical in the extreme.” (Gilman 11) This extreme rationality together with his medical knowledge also supposes an obstacle for the protagonist to opine on her true state of health. The protagonist admits that she is better physically but not mentally. John does not believe his wife because he believes that “it is a false and foolish…
