Summary "Rebellion" by Joseph Medill Patterson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the tumultuous life of Jim Connor, a ward heeler struggling with his alcoholism, strained marriage, and the political dynamics of his job. Through Jim's perspective, it delves into themes of personal failure, the complexities of relationships, and the socio-political environment of the time. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jim Connor, enjoying camaraderie in a bar while trying to keep promises to his wife, Georgia. It becomes clear that Jim is trapped in a cycle of drinking, regret, and the fear of confronting Georgia over his late return home for supper. As he reflects on their past and the evolution of their relationship, it is revealed that Jim's alcoholism is a recurring issue that strains their marriage. The opening scenes establish the tone of desperation and discontent that pervades Jim's life, giving readers insight into his conflicted character and the challenges he faces both at home and in the political arena.
