Jean

Jean is a static and protagonist character. She is kind, caring, and flirtatious. This is shown the first chapter. It says, "...There's a girl that promised she'd kiss me if I had sweet breath." (Lowry, chap 1). Jean is also has curly hair that is mentioned in chapter 8. The novel says, "With her curly hair tumbling over her dirt streaked forehead..." (Lowry, chap 8). In the same chapter, Matty mentions the way she talks. It says, "And now she was talking to him in a way that was not foolish and childlike..." (Lowry, chap 8). This says that she has a more mature voice and doesn't sound like a child. Jean also contributes to the conflict by explaining that her father traded his "deepest self", which explains why some of Village is acting weird.
