The Outsiders Character Analysis

801 Words | 4 Pages

Dally uses his past and experience of being “hardened in jail” to shield his friends and shield Johnny and Ponyboy from the repercussions of what might happen if they were found guilty. He especially looks after Johnny, whom he took in as a “pet” and views as a younger, uncorrupted version of himself. This can be seen when he tells Johnny “you don’t know what a few months in jail can do to you… I just don’t wanna see that happen to you like it happened to me”, as he becomes vulnerable, talking about the hardships in jail. He once again shows courage when he “let it slip that [Ponyboy and Johnny] were headin’ for Texas” to the police and giving the boys a gun even if “he’d get jailed again for giving [them] that gun”. This again proves that Dally would do anything to protect his friends in times of crisis even if that meant he went back to jail.
