Chapter 4 response: Power and the Glory

Many of the characters' identities drastically shifted in comparison to what was thought of them before this chapter. Padre Jose in particular was seemingly different and surprised me mercifully. Of those laws which he had sworn to uphold were violated in shock due to his uncalled for compassion towards a former enemy. The lieutenant also proved that he was indeed capable of change and spiritual advancement after he clearly showed his decision to righteously betray his own order. Padre Jose was from then on seen not as the cold-hearted man he was thought to be, but as a more pathetic, broken person.
