John is a hypocrite. Do you agree with this statement . why / why not ?

John said that he did not believe in the romance portrayed in best sellers. He believed the stories too good to be true. However, his own story was fantastical. His wife, the only daughter of the oldest family in Virginia, met him, an ordinary travel salesman of a plate glass company, in a journey where he would have least expected to find his life partner. Their courtship also was too fantastical, and even after all the episode, the fashion in which Pescud criticised love stories of best sellers proves him to be a hypocrite.

Yes,I agree with this statement because he said that all best sellers are realstics and said that he could not understand why people buy them but he reads a best seller himself.

John’s behavior is definitely hypocritical. He openly denounces bestsellers claiming that they are quite unrealistic. He believes that the stories involving a boy and a girl in the so-called bestsellers are a far cry from reality. He tells the narrator that in real life, a boy normally looks for a girl who is somewhat familiar and wonders why people have an affinity for bestsellers.

However, when John narrates his love story to the narrator, we come to know that his love story was akin to what was normally written in the best sellers. John marries a girl who is not from her community or native place and who hails from an aristocratic family. This shows that John did not practice what he believed.

In my opinion John is a hypocrite. He usually denounces the best seller and told them unrealastic because a common man search a girl in his own town or area but in best seller a man who is american fall in love with a girl of france or Europe .

But in his own story he fall in love with a girl who live far away from his town.so this behaviour of john make him hypocrite...............

Yes, I believe that John is a hypocrite. The word hypocrite means the person tries to shows what he is not. John is such type of man. He said that he did not believe in the romance portrayed in best sellers. He believed the stories too good to be true. However, his own story was fantastical. His wife, the only daughter of the oldest family in Virginia, met him, an ordinary travel salesman of a plate glass company, in a journey where he would have least expected to find his life partner.

Yes, John is a hypocrite. He threw his book (Rose lady and the Travelyan) in which he disagrees the thought of the writer that a poor boy falls love with a rich lady. But in his real life it has happened. So John is a hypocrite

Yes, I believe that John is a Hypocrite bcz his views about his Life and his own life do not match with eachother. In the train John was reading a Best Seller and asked the author whether he believed in Best Sellers. Then he went on to say that these Best Sellers are of same kind whether you read one or ten, since they all have similar plots and settings. For himself, he says that he don't like Best Sellers, which talks about impossible romances and are very different from the real Life. This clearly shows that John is a Hypocrite.
