Symbolism: Finny is a symbol of peace. like a dove.
Character Analysis: Finny is an athletic person who isenergetic and vibrant person. He had the ability to talk people into things with his charisma. "Why did I [Gene] let Finny talk me into stupid things like this?" (Knowles 17) Finny also finds the best things about people and doesnt think anyone is capable of doing him wrong. He is also very loyal to his friends. "Finny had practically saved my [Gene's] life" (Knowles 32)
Character-Theme-Tie-In: Finny is the theme of peace in the novel. Without Finny around, Gene seems to have "wars" inside of himself, fighting back his guilt. On the other hand whenever Finny is around, Gene sort of becomes absorbed into Finny's world and completely ignoring everyone else. Finny seems to be everyones friend and when he's around the Devon students, they always seem to be happy or at least enjoying themselves.
