Is he also innocent and inexperienced, like Catherine? (Or is he just blind?)
He plays hookie from Oxford, leaving school to come to Bath for a lenghty time. Catherine takes an immediatel dislike to John Thorpe, and only says she likes him so as not to offend her brother. Why does James like JT? Why are they friends?
What do you make of James trying to convince catherine to give up her engagement to Miss Tilney (ch. 8)? I know that James does it because he wants to be alone with Isabella, but why doesn't he see how wrong it is to pressure his own sister into doing something which she believes is wrong?
