DeleteJimmy Valentine is a rather intricate man. His traits along the storyline seem to change, but somehow remain static. This ¨trait¨ Jimmy Valentine has is weird, and confusing, but when given enough thought, it is easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Valentine has many traits that easily show. It is easy to know that he is an easygoing man, he is never in a hurry, and doesn't show desperation throughout the course of the story. He is also a good man, deep inside, who regrets his past. Even though he may look evil, he is a peaceful man, who is also a victim of true love.
During his life, he made many choices, good and bad. Perhaps his most important choice was deciding to become a shoe maker. That and only that changed his life completely. His personal traits influenced him a lot when making choices, were they good or bad. A very memorable moment of the story is when he gets Agatha out of the bank's vault. It completely destroyed the status he got by working so hard to change himself, but it was a good choice. This shows that deep inside, Jimmy Valentine is a good man.
From most of the books and stories I've, Jimmy Valentine is certainly a remarkable character, and is probably the most astounding character regarding personality that I have yet known. He is a man of truth, a man of lies, a man of good, and a man of bad. This character has a very memorable personality that is sure to surprise and astound anyone. Readers, I present to you Jimmy Valentine.
Wheeew, that certainly took a lot of time to write.
