Walter Thomas
Having worked a hard day of physical labor at the sawmill, the local men fraternize at the general store, drinking and swapping stories. They represent a toxic expression of masculinity in the way that they band together to police and monitor the behavior of men like Joe Kanty, who they perceive as weak, and idolize men like Spunk, who, despite his glaring flaws, they revere and admire. Under Elijah’s leadership, this male pack blindly follows Elijah’s lead as he taunts and teases Joe, thinking nothing of the consequences.
