He was so impressed that he asked John if he could make that much money if he threw himself in the river and every other time that John was asked that question he always replied "ah reckon so." With this final time Ole john knew he could have the ultimate revenge, so this time he replied "ah know so" (Gates, pg.64). John threw his master into the river just like how his master tried to throw him in the river, but with the weights. While John is throwing him in the river he gives him a last farewell with "Goodbye, Massa. Ah hope you find all you lookin' for" (Gates, pg. 64). This is the moment when Ole John felt his revenged was finalized and he finally felt his freedom. Tricksters use their wittiness and intelligence to gain their freedom; even if it is for the worst. Like, in this case, John killing his master. Not only did John do all of this to gain his freedom, but because he wanted his revenge.

John still feels as though he can relate with his brother on a new level of trust and respect. “But where was I? Who was I? How did I miss so much (Wideman 687)?” John admits to himself here that the situation with Robby had gotten so out of hand for him and his family most of the time they chose to look away.

John feels like a “hypocrite” because when the TV was stolen his father in law bought him and his wife a new one. With their homeowners insurance though they were refunded 100 dollars. Instead of giving it to his father in law he chose to keep it. When the truth came out his father in law was hurt and felt that John had manipulated the situation. Though this is a small mistake compared to Robby and his crimes,

An oligopoly is “a market situation in which relatively few sellers [like Burger King, McDonald’s] compete and high start-up costs form barriers to keep out new competitors [like Five Guys Burgers and Fries]” (Boone and Kurtz, 2012, p. 80).

Knowing that Elizabeth was the innocent one, he is incited to act on his wife’s behalf. John knows that Abby is making a scene out of all this just to get revenge on him and Elizabeth for rejecting her. He makes his way to the courtroom to plead his thoughts about the girls lying their way in getting revenge on the ones that they hate. John’s feeling of guilt is growing stronger because he knows that if it wasn’t for him having the affair with the harlot, none of this would be happening, and his wife would not be in accusation. When he informed the judges about his story of the girls, the judge was doubting his actions and Abi started throwing another fit to make it seem like he was

An oligopoly, is when there are only a few number of companies that control a specific market.
