As both Jesus and John are parallels
As both Jesus and John are parallels, so are their characterizations. In the wee years around Jesus, the inconceived son of Joseph and Mary, basically came from nowhere, as the story goes. John Coffey also came from nowhere. Both Christ and Coffey are trying to save humanity, the young girls in the movie being a symbol of humanity. John Coffey could heal urinary tract infections. Jesus healed the lepers. Both men tried to teach tolerance through nonviolence. They didnt even retaliate to bad conditions or scenarios that they were in. The both sat there and their lives just went by. They both tried to express messages of love and sitting there. Love everyone you can. And if anything disagreeable happens just sit there. Unfortunately, it is probably better to be dead than just sitting there, so you might as well be dead. Thats probably why John Coffey wanted to go ahead and be killed as soon as possible. Jesus was similar in that fashion. He probably thought it was better to be dead than to be alive, because he didnt want other men to control hi! s life. Jesus was just a very calm, self-disciplined man who disagreed with the government of a corrupting society. He was killed for his beliefs. John Coffey on the other hand was killed by accident. He was thought to have premeditatedly killed the two girls. It was an accident to be found with them. Paul spread Jesus message, and Mr. Jangles carried the message of John Coffey. Jesus Christ and John Coffey were similar in their personalities and destinies, but there were slightly different motives behind their consequences.
