Justice
Play
"No one'll touch him now! Never again! He's safe with gentle Jesus!" - comment on this statement.
These words of Cokeson at the end of Galsworthy's famous problem play, "Justice"(1910) shows his sane and sympathetic attitude toward Falder. He has genuine affection and love for Falder. He visits the prison to see the poor condition of him. He has pleaded for reinstatement of Falder, so that he may get a chance to lead a decent normal life.
But finally Falder has to face the biggest punishment i. e. death and Ruth cries out,"No, no! No, no!", Cokeson's heart melts with pity and is full of sorrow at the harrowing sight of Falser dead and Ruth is bending over his body calling, "pretty", "dear". Cokeson utters these words which bring out his warm- hearted humanity. Falder has been hunted out of life by the blood-hounds of law. He is now beyond the rich of law ans Society. They cannot touch him now.
Cokeson becomes philosophical in his speech. He means to say that Jesus is the savior of all man. Jesus can save him from injustice which has meted out to Falder in the name of justice in human society. Jesus gives shelter to all- the virtuous and the vicious. He is merciful and loving. Cruelties of so-called justice have completely crushed him. By committing suicide Falder has gone to heaven and will get the love, mercy and shelter if he kind- hearted Jesus.
