priest is a sinner. battles with the tension between his faith and his past sins. a good read, very reflective and makes you think. i’d say the priest is a good character, but definitely quite sad. he clearly understands the battle between being faithful and having pride, and he is convinced he is prideful. the saddest part about the novel is that he doesn’t see how impactful he is, how his shame makes him humble. major spoiler: his death is  SO sad because it’s just mr tench (minor character) seeing him die out the window. very anticlimatic, very sad.
