His arguments with Brother Fowles showed Nathan to be upset at the success he had with the people there. We see this determination in Nathan to show Fowles and everyone else that he can go above and beyond what he has done there. Since we never hear from Nathan’s perspective, we cannot really determine whether or not he ever just wanted to be right. This mystery can make Nathan’s character be analyzed in two different ways. Was he a truly religious man who wanted the best for everyone or did he just want to show society he was right? I believe he was both of them. Nathan truly wanted to save these people as we seen after Ruth May’s death. After realizing that she would have to spend an eternity in hell, he hoped to possibly save every other Congolese child from this suffering. But then again we see this extreme force with his actions and no remorse in what he does. At one point he sends children across the water and they all die from crocodiles. I think Nathan was mad in to be this complex character because he is a representation of so many things. Nathan helps develop so many of the thematic concepts of the novel and leaving his character open like this helps develop them more clearly. Not getting into his head makes people assume he is a bad guy. He potentially wants to help the people and should not assume that all his intentions are

Nathan Price struggles with survivor's guilt from WWII. This grief weighs him down, and it not only causes him to be hard on himself personally, it causes him to be hard on his wife and four daughters. He sees himself as a coward, however, in order to hide how he truly views himself, he shows himself off as brave and strong. In reality, Nathan is a coward for hiding himself behind God, and a selfish man for not letting himself commiserate with others. Along with trying to make himself seem like something he is not, he convinces himself that he is going to save the souls of the Congolese people using God’s power. In reality, he is just trying to save his spot in Heaven since he is so guilty about not dying in WWII. Nathan Price has a certain moral code and if anyone, including his family, disobeys it, he believes they should then be punished by God. He also thinks that God will frown upon any actions that are not centered on God. For example, Nathan does not even take the time to love his own wife and daughters. "Father would sooner watch us all perish one by one than listening to anybody but himself"

As a soldier stationed in the Philippines, Nathan ran away from the fray when he was wounded by piece of shrapnel. While in hiding, his unit would meet their death in the infamous Bataan Death March. Nathan is the only one to in his unit to survive. This is root of his guilt and the influence of his actions, for the rest of the story. Nathan, forever guilty of his cowardice, is permanently scarred. “Hounded by what happened in a Philippine Jungle and the ghosts of a thousand men who didn’t escape it, his steadfast disdain for cowardice turned to obsession” (Kingsolver,96) Nathan even receives the Purple Heart for “surviving” the war, the medal isn't for heroism or bravery, its for being wounded. It’s a medal of failure, that further provokes Nathan’s shame. After the war is when Nathan began his strict devotion Christianity, what the reader witnesses throughout the story. This is what leads him to Kilanga, willingly putting his family in danger to spread the name of the lord, in hope of redemption. Nathan’s guilt at having escaped the Bataan death march has twisted his belief in God, he sees God as one who punishes and rewards strictly on the basis of merit. He lives trying to earn his, by pushing the teaching of Christianity to the Congolese. Nathan masks his cowardice using a sort of “divine right”. He uses god to justify every decision he makes, disregarding anyone elses opinion. “father needs permission only from the Saviour"
