Judah Lewis Character Analysis

Judah (or “Jude”) is Lo’s boyfriend, 35 years old and originally from Brooklyn, New York. He works as a foreign correspondent and travels a lot. Jude wants his relationship with Lo to move forward and has spent most of the past year waiting for her to agree to move in with him, even putting a job opportunity on hold. When she’s traumatized from a burglary at her flat, Lo mistakenly attacks Judah with a lamp and breaks his tooth; they also argue over their relationship before Lo leaves for the Aurora cruise. However, Jude worries about Lo’s lack of contact during the cruise and raises the alarm about her disappearance before anyone else does. After Lo escapes Norway, they’re joyfully reunited, and Lo agrees to move to New York with him.

Chapter 37 Quotes

I thought of Carrie’s terror, of the bruises on her body, of her belief that she would never escape Richard. She had been right. Judah said nothing, and I could not see his expression in the dark, but I felt his silent disagreement.

“What,” I demanded, “you don’t believe me? You don’t think people can be sucked into doing something out of fear, or inability to see any other way out?”

“No, it’s not that,” Judah said slowly. “I believe that […] But you can’t tell me that you’d do that to another person, no matter how tough things seemed—lock them up like that, imprison them—no matter how scared you were.”

“I don’t know,” I said. I thought of Carrie, of how brave she had been, and how fragile. I thought of the masks she wore to hide the terror and loneliness inside.

Explanation and Analysis:

“I think I lost sight of what I wanted. I don’t want to end up like Tina and Alexander, traveling from country to country and only seeing five-star hotels and Michelin restaurants. Yes, Rowan’s been to half the luxury resorts in the Caribbean, but in return she spends her life reporting the stories that people like Bullmer want her to tell, and I don’t want that, not anymore. I want to write about the things people don’t want you to know. And if I’m going to start pulling my way up from the bottom again, well, I can freelance from anywhere.”
