Magnificent Joe
question
How does the struggle between Jim and Joe's differing needs for predictability play out in the narrative?

The life Jim returns to after prison is one of repetition and routine. Yet for Joe, it is the very predictability of his day-to-day that gives him the confidence to live semi-independently. In the space that Jim and Joe occupy together, those different needs present a struggle for both of them. How does that play out in the narrative?
