Long Answer

1. Roxy sets the book’s plot in motion when she switches the Driscoll baby with her own because she wants to save him from potentially being sold down the river by the Driscolls. Many years later, her own child—now a member of the Driscoll family—betrays her trust by selling Roxy herself down the river. (Various chapters)

2. Judge Driscoll’s professional role is to preside over a part of the American justice system with impartial wisdom. But he is a naive person, easily manipulated into false beliefs by Tom, and he clearly does not value the justice system as much as he values his own personal code of honor. He encourages Tom to engage in a duel, and is then willing to do the same himself, to satisfy his belief in “gentlemanly” honor. (Various chapters)
