Who is Guy Dupree from The Dog of the South and what is their importance? The_Dog_of_the_South English & Literature Guy Dupree | The Dog of the South

Guy was the first husband of Norma Ridge, and has now re-entered her life and taken her with him to avoid prosecution for having sent threatening letters to the President. He is a political radical of sorts, spending his time in the development of treatises on a new social and political order he sees as beneficial to America. The son of wealthy parents, Guy has never been forced to truly engage in productive activity, except for a short stint at the local newspaper. Once he is charged with federal crimes, moreover, he jumps bail, convincing Norma to go with him to Belize and live on the family farm located there. Once there, however, Guy's lack of skill in farming and his personality have resulted in all of the hired help leaving and his untenable position as the owner of property he cannot develop.
