In my previous post, regarding what Jane would do if she had to decide between staying and competing in a wrestling meet or go to South Carolina to see my brother graduate from basic training, I felt that Jane would agree with me in going to see my brother because family was important to both of us, her reasons stemming from the lack of actual family in her life. Now, in John Dowell's case, things become quite different, as he is a character that can be described as quite different. Throughout the novel, John Dowell does nothing it seems as he is manipulated and lied to by his own wife. His obliviousness to what's going on around him makes this a hard question to answer. But, I believe John Dowell is blindingly loyal to people as shown through the loyalty to his wife and Ashburnham, even though they were sneaking off and being together behind his back. Due to his loyalty to people, it is believed that John Dowell would, like Jane and I, go to South Carolina to see my brother Jeremy graduate from basic training. While he would be disloyal to his wrestling team, his loyalty would be shown to my brother who would be closer to him in relation, so that's why he would choose to go visit my brother and watch him graduate from basic training in South Carolina.
