“My point is this: the more you have to lose, the braver you are for standing up.” pg. 56

“Every instance in my life, I've felt like the exact opposite of Superman. Except this time, this moment right now. I don't care. I don't feel like a weak, insipid sissy. Because right now I know I would save the girl. I know that I would rather risk the planet than let harm befall Eliza Wishart. I would save her in a second. Because I can imagine her and me huddled safe together while the earth falls under evil designs, but I can't imagine the world without her in it.” pg. 197

Craig Silvey's Jasper Johns is a novel that explores a range of themes, including masculinity. Here is another quote from the novel that references masculinity. And that was the fact that I was a boy. Not comfortable with it.

It really scared me." (Page 182)

This quote reflects the protagonist Charlie's struggles with his masculinity and the pressures of conforming to traditional male norms.
