Red Dead Redemption 2: How Arthur Morgan and John Marston Are Different in Their Own Way

The journals of Arthur Morgan and John Marston, two outlaws who might have emerged from the very same renegade gang, provide light on the vast differences between them. When an outlaw is all by himself, he has the opportunity to speak his mind. You may see a different narrative approach by perusing every page of the diary in Red Dead Redemption 2.

He Knows What to Do

The protagonist is met with Arthur’s animosity at the beginning of John and Arthur’s friendship. He is enraged that John has abandoned the gang, however, he is most upset because John has left his family. In the diary entries, the differences in family values are clearly visible. John is still figuring out what it takes to be a parent, but Arthur is already a dad. In spite of the fact that Arthur has never had children of his own, he knows just what to do. John is still undecided about the idea.

Even as the game progresses, John’s dedication to his family is clear in his later notes. Spoiler Alert. After Abigail and Jack abandon him, John is completely shattered. His family suffers as a result of his criminal impulses, but he doesn’t realize it. Only near the conclusion of the game does John begin to view his family as a source of motivation. The absence of Marston’s family leaves him feeling utterly alone. When asked about his past, the man claims to have been a complete and total idiot.

Arthur was aware of the significance of John’s family even though John’s progress was gradual. He even further said that he should have wedded Abigail instead in his journal. By labeling Jack a dreamer, Arthur is also acknowledging Jack’s promise. Until that moment, John couldn’t make sense of what his kid was saying. Arthur finds in Jack a glimmer of hope for a more peaceful and just world.

Because of this constant self-awareness, Arthur’s diary entries are a testament to his self-awareness and gratitude. Though he is well aware of his folly, he yet finds pleasure in just about everything. But he accomplishes it nevertheless because he wants to depict reality in the most honest fashion possible. Even though John is conscious of his own thoughts, he still dislikes himself for it.

In his journal, Arthur explains why he deserves the card he was dealt, while he wonders why anything is happening to him. As soon as Abigail and Jack return to him, John shares his concerns about indebtedness and the desire to become a changed man. Like Jack, John is a realist, whereas Arthur is a little of both.

Even though John and Arthur share their peculiarities, they are basically alike. Reading Arthur’s work helped John get to know Arthur better, and it had a profound effect on him. John, like Arthur, is optimistic about the coming in his last entries. Both guys have remarked and written that it is difficult to quit the world of a criminal.
