bobs jealousy being the catalyst for everything that happened in the story… He wouldn’t have gone off and gotten super drunk if he wasn’t jealous of cherry dancing with chet, then cherry wouldn’t have talked to ponyboy and he wouldn’t have come back and seen them together, and she wouldn’t have broken up with him and he wouldn’t be heartbroken and drunk and angry and searching for a fight and for someone to hurt and blame. He would never have jumped pony and Johnny and he wouldn’t have died…
