He causes himself to embody his own weakness during the course of the story because he is distracted, he is pathetic, and an underprivileged leader. One trait of Jimmy in the short story is that he is lethargic. Jimmy weeps of Martha and how he misses his homeland, which causes him to forget that he is in a war.
