    Character Analysis Of Jealousy In John Knowles 'A Separate Peace'

    John Knowles’ A Separate Peace is a beautifully written novel with a truly intriguing plot. However, the one thing I found disappointing was the absence of relatable characters. My lack of sympathy towards the characters made my reading experience feel almost like a chore. Out of all the characters, the one I disliked most was ironically the protagonist, Gene Forrester. Being friends with Gene seems like an awful position to be in. Gene possesses a variety of flaws which include jealousy and his tendency to act too quickly. These traits are displayed in various parts of the novel. Gene first shows signs of jealousy as early as chapter two where he says “I was beginning to see that Phineas could get away with anything. I couldn't help envying…

    A Separate Peace - Jealousy

    One of the main reasons that Gene jounces the limb is because of his misunderstanding towards Finny. Gene misunderstands Finny a lot and misinterprets Finny’s intentions. For example, Gene believes that Finny is intentionally attempting to wreck his studies when in reality Finny means no such thing. He simply wants to be friends with Gene and always wants to have fun with him. The misunderstanding takes place on page 45 when Gene has a thought in his head saying: “Finny had deliberately set out to wreck my studies. That explained blitzball, that explained the nightly meetings of the Super Suicide Society, that explained his insistence that I share all his diversions. The way I believed that you’re my best-friends blabber!” This all makes it seem like Finny purposely did all these activities in order to force Gene’s grades to deteriorate. In reality all Finny wanted was to be friends as I mentioned before. Gene later on realizes that Finny meant him no harm when on page 51 when Finny asked Gene to go out with him then Finny noticed Gene needed to study so he tells Gene he’ll go alone with Leper. Gene insists on going when he says: “Wait just a minute. I’m coming” (p.51). Finny replies and tells him: “No you aren’t, pal, you’re going to study.” (p.51) There was the evidence for Gene that Finny meant nothing bad and that all he wanted was to be his best friend and hang out with him as well as have fun. Gene realizes this when on page 51 he thinks in his head and says: “He had never been jealous of me for a second. Now I knew that there never was and never could have been any rivalry between us. I was not of the same quality as he.” This proves that Gene had completely misunderstood Finny and misinterpreted his intentions.…
