Character from Point Counter Point

I chose to talk about John Bidlake. John is Walter Bidlake's father and is married. At one point he as involved with Lady Edward. We will find out later that he has cancer. He is extremely self centered, and is definitely a menonist. A part of story that represents Johns attitude is when he is talking about how he saw the woman he was painting as beautiful and amazing when she was younger, but when he runs into her later in life, he thinks she is disgusting and not fun to be around. He thinks this just because she would no longer be beautiful to paint. Johns attitude/philosophy would be similar to a hedonist. He always does things just for himself, often just for pleasure. This represents a hedonist.
