Do you think Jim O'Conner is a good or bad character?
I believe Tennessee used Jim to mirror the Wingfield father and provoke the emotions that were felt.
Jim is described to be charming and good with words. He even admits he has to be smart; he's just good with people. Even manipulating them if he wants to.
When he had that monologue with Tom about how they are different, I though back to how Amanda said the one thing the father had was charm and noticed that the father and Jim were very similar.
What makes me question whether he's a good character or not is how he had gotten close to Laura, but still left her. And when he left, all this negativity he was the source of tore the family apart.
Come to think of it, if he's good with words, everything he said to Laura doesn't necessarily have to be true.
