THE PRISONERS
I welcome you to the prisoners' side of the character analysis. These, like the analysis about
the staff, are made by Percy Wetmore or they are made from his view point. Hope you enjoy these like
the ones made about the staff!
Eduard Delacroix
Eduard Delacroix or Del - the name really fits this pathetic French man. I have never liked him.
When I took him to E-block he dared to try to take my pants down. Besides being French he is
even homosexual and I don't prefer people like that. Anyway, I gave him some good hits with my
baton and after that incident he has been behaving rather good. Sometimes he gets on my nerves
when he is playing with that mouse his. Once I broke his fingers for that. He also gets on my
nerves with his laugh. Laughed at me even when Wharton attacked on me. That really describes the
nature of that little man.
Besides being pathetic, Delacroix is a total fool. He thought that I enjoyed helping him out
with the cigar box for the mouse. No way, I did it just to get to fry his ass and I did it
properly. Made him suffer for his sins and he deserved it!
John Coffey
I never got in real contact with that man. He was a weirdo, that is for sure. They called him
the miracle man. Even said that he cured Edgecombe, Moores' wife and Mr. Jingles. I don't
believe in that but there was something awkward in that man. At least he was the size of a bull - much bigger than Brutal. It isn't that surprising that that man killed and raped two little
girls. I always saw that in his eyes. What was even more surprising was that he was afraid of
dark. I think that it was for the good of us all and himself that he got executed.
William Wharton
Should have been executed right away. Edgecombe mentioned that in Wharton's papers it had been
double underlined: "He simply doesn't care." When I saw him first, he was barely dressed. He
was just standing there like a cooked spaghetti and we had to even clothe him. However, he
cheered up during his prison time. He insulted us all. Pissed on us, spitted, shitted and so
on. I was about to take my pistol and shoot him in that place, but I didn't. I don't really
know what happened in that boys head. (He was still a boy. Only 19 years old!) He had been
robbing and killing all over the state. In my opinion he shouldn't have even born. The only
thing he left into this world really was destruction.
Mr. Jingles
It sounds really weird to start to speak about a mouse. It was from the beginning to the
end one filthy house mouse that was eating the walls in the restraint room. I never understood
why the others let the mouse stay on the block. Delacroix seemed to enjoy him. You should have
seen his eyes when I crushed Mr. Jingles with my boot. What I really didn't after all find out
was that how many mice we actually had on the block. Namely, even if I heard Mr. Jingles back
bone brake into pieces , the next time I came to the block I saw Delacroix again with him.
However, after Delacroix execution the mouse disappeared for good.
