Perhaps it’s because we’re unfamiliar with the situation and we aren’t aware how to handle it. However, many people don’t think about how it looks from the handicapped person’s point of view. “The person who smiles and jokes while in obvious physical pain is honored by all” (Murphy p. 20).

His character is hungry for an idealistic type of justice because he is young and free from indiscretion and therefore naive, which leads him to believe that living life without giving in to worldly desires is a task that people are actually capable of. In contrast, Duke Vincentio has lived and experienced enough to know that no man can carry out an existence free from transgressions. He believes that you should judge people in the same way that you would judge yourself. As law-enforcers, the Duke and Angelo do not differ completely in their feelings about the law. The Duke is concerned that the laws have become useless, likening them to a rod, which becomes mocked when it’s used long enough to scare rather than to punish.
He lacks education but is perceptive, additionally a good business man. He is hard working, very committed to his business and easy going. He gets on well with kids in the neighbourhood, such as Bert, who visits Joe and plays “jail” with. As the play progresses, Joe Keller's character is seen a mass of contradictions to the audience.
