Case Thesis
Chester Campbell's case turns on a collision between the need to impose order, possess Grace
Core Analysis
A closer reading of the motive, fear, and pressure pattern behind the case.
He needs the world divided into clean and dirty because his own desires threaten his self-image. Tommy humiliates him not only by resisting the law, but by revealing that Campbell's law is full of private appetite.
His conflict is between moral crusade and personal corruption. The more he fails to possess Grace or dominate Tommy, the more punitive he becomes. In real life he would be dangerous in institutions because he turns wounded pride into procedure.
