He is performing maleness, checked by his social class and lifestyle. He is tied up for most of the story, and in the woman’s account, he does not emote at all, even in the face of perceived betrayal. This lack of emotion, or rather control of emotion, is juxtapositioned against the thief's constant angry outbursts, and the woman’s tears. He was clearly very upset with his wife, however he was angry, not sad (a feminine reaction), yet has learned to not express emotion in order to perform masculinity in a more restrained way, as is expected even today of “higher class” people.

After receiving the news about the murder, Jimmy explodes with emotions. “I remember, I was more afraid of my little daughter than I ever was of being in prison” (Dennis 34).

Ultimately, Jimmy follows the wrong path. Jimmy not only fails to find his daughter’s murderer, but he also kills Dave along too. By looking though a psychoanalytic lens, one can interpret Jimmy’s fatherly instincts which are to try to unearth his daughter’s murderer no matter the cost.

For example he knew the time that Hae was buried in Leakin Park at around 7:00 pm, he said. Also he knew where the shovel(s) used to bury Hae were thrown away he said in Super Fresh. He knew that Hae's body was at the car when Adnan "supposedly" kill her, and not only that he also knew the location of Hae's car .
