James longs to pursue religious studies in Jerusalem, but his older brother shows no interest in following their father's carpentry business. This means that James, as the second eldest, will have to forgo his own dreams to keep his father's shop alive. He is bitter and resentful, and sneeringly unappreciative of his brother's claims to another calling and his odd references to the father. Unless something unusual happens, it is a recipe for familiar disaster.
